RTL8192CU 802.11n WLAN Adapter || rtl8192cu || No || On Ubuntu 14.10 worked out of the box for about 5 minutes, then stalled (as in pages wouldn't load and eventually gave a DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET error on Google Chrome). Rebooted and again worked for 5 minutes then stalled. After much searching I followed instructions at https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes/blob/master/README.md and it finally worked. It's worth noting I only got this as I thought, reading other experiences, this would work out of the box; however I believe that there has been a change on Version 3 of the TL-WN822N meaning it has issues.
