  thanks for the information, i changed the kernel to 3.5.3 and saw this card 
is supported and found the firmware you mentioned in my arch distro, everything 
seems working fine, however wpa_supplicant wouldn't pass the 4 way handshake 
state and reports the pre-shared key isn't correct while the same configuration 
file for wpa_supplicant worked for another wireless card, also, when using iw 
to create an ibss cell no error is reported but actually it isn't created, and 
after exiting from wpa_supplicant the card couldn't get anying result via iw 
scan, i must unplug it and plug it again to get scanning results...

  i tried kernel 3.5.3 and the most recent one from git, also tried the 
official driver from realtek on 3.2.6 and 2.6.34.13, none is at least working...

  just wanna forget all the mess after reporting something to the 
wireless.kernel.org mailing list.
