What kernel does 13.10 run? If you want the latest, you will need to build your own.

You also need to look very carefully at the firmware version as Ubuntu has not been distributing the latest. On my system, the md5sum for the correct fw is

748944fbffd3b08b5b1929bb6c7fc537 /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192cfw.bin

The device works for me. I use openSUSE with a 3.12-rc4 kernel and I control it with NetworkManager. I have already wasted a lot of time trying to find what is causing problems for Ubuntu users, only to find that the distro's firmware is out of date. I have decided to quit doing that.
