Following the instructions given by Chicoff in his comment cited below, I've been able to compile the RTL8192CU propietary driver with the 3.0.0-12 kernel. It works fine, and does not have any of these problems.

In order to compile them properly, it is needed to change two header files in the tar.gz file in the 'driver' directory:
 - osdep_service.h (line 49) -> linux/smp_lock.h to linux/smp.h
 - rtw_io.h (line 36) -> linux/smp_lock.h to linux/smp.h
