Wait! There isn't any ht_enable option for the rtl8192su(.ko) driver...?!

Can't help you with debugging the problem as long as I can't reproduce the
issue. No idea if this is a hardware, firmware, driver, setup or some
kind of interaction issue. In my opinion: you simply disable HT, then you
just did take a feature away rather than dealing with anything. But, if
that's what you want: fine.

Note: I think the simplest solution would be to have a working reference.
If you are looking for a wifi usb-stick, ath9k_htc solutions are usually
the way to go.
