I have no idea as the only AWUS036 I have is the old one with an RTL8187 chip.

I have been running a wireless-testing 3.1-rc6 kernel with an RTL8188CUS chip 
(USB IDs are 7392:7811) with no problems. George will know more about supporting 
that chip than I do.

I will boot my mainline kernel, but I think it is OK.

If the adapter isn't showing up in wireless-next, you need to check the USB IDs 
using lsusb, and compare them with the USB_DEVICE tables in 
drivers/net/wireless/rtl8192cu/sw.c. The only place that logs will occur is 
dmesg, /var/log/messages, or /var/log/syslog.
