Kubuntu 13.04 and kubuntu 13.10: the rtl8192cu module is able to connect to the wifi modem only if the modem is very near (1-2 meters). Randomly the connection go down like the modem was turned off (but the modem is still stand up).
With 13.04 I was able to install proprietary driver from this URL: https://code.google.com/p/realtek-8188cus-wireless-drivers-3444749-ubuntu-1304/
With 13.10 I'm able to install the deb, but the system will become unstable at the next boot, and the new driver will not work..
Below I report the data of my operating system.
