I have a copy of the driver that Realtek calls the r8712 for the RTL8192 USB
devices. All of the dead code and the unneeded configuration sections have been
removed. It will be submitted to staging as soon as Realtek signs off on the
copyright info. For some reason, it has taken them several weeks and I still
have no answer. This new driver is stable - the connection stays up for days. I
expect that it will replace the current one in staging.
