Hi Dan,

Running modinfo for the module will show you the path of the driver 
that's currently being used. Can you show the output from:

modinfo 8192cu

You don't need to remove the original kernel driver, the new driver from 
Alan's kmod package should override it but the modinfo output above will 
confirm that.
