Overview

"2052500384" and "Rev:1.0" is silkscreened on the board in the FCC photos.

rtl8192cu may not be working properly with this device at the moment

Note: the patch adding USB ID is targeted for inclusion in kernel 3.11,

Realtek's vendor driver may be the only option ATM

Note 2: Vendor's driver does not work either -

- one report indicates a lack of MIMO support.

On 2.10.2014 the device still has no working driver: issue on github.
