Problems I had with rtl8192cu on arm/sunxi, were mostly related to USB host driver not handling unaligned and/or overlapping URB buffers correctly which lead to memory corruption and random crashes. So if you get problematic behavior with latest compat-drivers (+ with the patch Larry pointed out), I'd say look at USB host driver of raspberry.
You can check the workarounds for sunxi-ehci/ohci and tegra-ehci at:
