HAve you checked ElRepo third-party reposiroty? kmod packaged drivers for stock kernels. Just go to http://elrepo.org/tiki/DeviceIDs and check for vendor:device ID pairing that lspci command will show for your rtl8192cu device.
"lsusb" in my case, but yeah. Interesting. Thanks. The driver there ( kmod-r8192cu-3.4.4_4749-1.el5.elrepo ) appears to detect the device and join the network. We'll have to see how stable it is :-)
Thanks!
Btw, RHEL/CentOS kernel is much more advanced then vanilla kernel of the same numbering because Red Hat backports latest drivers to their kernel.
USB wifi drivers tend to lag in the RH kernel. The first thing I do is see if there's a driver of the right name before hunting elsewhere :-)
