Hi Dan! Thank you for your reply!

I gave it another try, then. The behavior was the same as described 
before, and the device failed to work, as before. That's with kernel 
3.19.0 and NetworkManager 0.9.10 (both from the latest stable Ubuntu 
release).

The last commenter on that bug report appears to have given up on 
helping fix it after finding a version of Realtek's driver patched to 
work on recent kernels... So, what I've been offering. I find myself 
hoping that my work hasn't in fact slowed down the actual bug getting fixed.

That would probably help, yes. Thanks, Dan. :)

In the meanwhile, shouldn't we officially consider the affected devices 
unsupported? I don't very much like the idea of people buying said 
devices in good faith and then realizing that they're in fact not usable 
on Linux by default. (Mind, I have no idea what the proper policy is in 
those matter. Does this suggestion make any sense?)

Cheers,
