Stefan,

I have made some progress with the driver merged into staging. In addition, I 
have fixed the problems with 64-bit operation and the lack of kernel_thread() in 
3.7 for driver rtl8192DU_linux_v4.0.0_5260.20120921. As I'm not sure the list 
wants to get the patch, I'll send it separately via private email.

Your tests will be useful as my device has USB ID 0bda:8193.
