You are likely crashing more than X.

That is very good evidence that rtl8192cu is *NOT* the correct driver for that 
device. As I recall Xose found that USB ID in a Windows driver, but who knows 
what changes are inside that driver?

I have what I think is a complete collection of Realtek drivers for Linux, and 
none of them have 0bda:819a as a USB ID.
