Comment 43 for bug 1666421

Since the 4.4.0-63-generic update until the current 4.4.0-70-generic I have stopped working the network with the wifi adpator rtl8192cu and not only the network but the system was frozen and did not start with the adapter Market Stall.
However with the adapter removed, the system boots smoothly. And it re-freezes the moment I insert usb_wifi.
Well I have overcome this error by loading the additional drivers as follows:
From the terminal
Git clone https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes.git
Sudo dkms add ./rtl8192cu-fixes
Sudo dkms install 8192cu / 1.10
Then we edit the file

Sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

And we add at the end the line
Blacklist rtl8192cu
We rebooted and at least it worked for me.

In the web of git says that we say:
Sudo cp ./rtl8192cu-fixes/blacklist-native-rtl8192.conf /etc/modprobe.d/
But that did not work for me.

The operation is somewhat irregular sometimes starts at first but other times the speed is very reduced and I must restart the PC or the router to get a good performance.
