Please don't send reports like this to me privately, there's no point.
I won't be able to fix individual drivers that I don't know. Make a
public report, and try to figure out who is in charge of that driver.

I've added the most active rtl8192 authors/people to the Cc, along
with linux-wireless. Hopefully that includes somebody who can help.
