Bug Description
When I insert the usb D-Link DWA 131 wifi dongle, no wireless network can be detected despite the wireless adaptor is listed in Network Manager applet.
It seems that the module r8192s_usb can't set up the wireless interface correctly regarding dmesg.
Please note that I also use an embeded wireless card using iwlagn module.
(Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300)
I don't know if it can be a conflict made by the use of 2 wireless interface.
But I can't switch off this card without disabling all wireless network adaptor (even the usb dongle).
I try 2.6.36rc8 and 2.6.36 kernel from http://
I'm running Xubuntu 10.10 fresh updated includng maverick-proposed.

I try latest vanilla kernel (2.6.36-rc3 from 2010-10-20) and the module r8792s_usb has been droped.
The driver r8712u, wich replace the previous one, runs flawlessly.
Both r8792s_usb and r8712u are staging drivers, but please consider disabling the first one and enable r8712u in replacement.
