I wasted my 5 days on laptop ASUS X550C: I did research, why wifi is not
working with installed opensuse 13.1, installed vanilla 3.5 kernel,
compiled that driver from github against it (he says 3.5 branch should
work) - I could use scan on that device and see wireless networks
around, but connection just always timed out - never get ip address.

Then I tried that linuxmint 13, install kernel 3.5.0-24-generic, compile
driver and same result as with opensuse and kernel 3.5.7-7, never
connect....

I think that in that ASUS is slightly different chipset, at least this line:
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 197c

is different on my ASUS - there is:
Subsystem: FOXCONN something (I wrapped that piece of crap to a box again, so I cannot post full line and will return it)

  This device is appearing in some OEM machines, but driver is not yet

  The driver seems to be present in machines with pre-installed OS, but
  isn't available on the download-and-install versions!
