These are overlapping:

        /* Realtek */
        {USB_DEVICE(0x0bda, 0x8192)},
        {USB_DEVICE(0x0bda, 0x8709)},
        /* Corega */
        {USB_DEVICE(0x07aa, 0x0043)},
        /* Belkin */
        {USB_DEVICE(0x050d, 0x805E)},
        /* Sitecom */
        {USB_DEVICE(0x0df6, 0x0031)},
        /* EnGenius */
        {USB_DEVICE(0x1740, 0x9201)},
        /* Dlink */
        {USB_DEVICE(0x2001, 0x3301)},
        /* Zinwell */
        {USB_DEVICE(0x5a57, 0x0290)},

These are only in rtl8192su:

        /* Guillemot */
        {USB_DEVICE(0x06f8, 0xe031)},
        //92SU
        {USB_DEVICE(0x0bda, 0x8172)},

"Guillemot" was added by commit 488d3749, "92SU" was there originally.

OK, one second.
