One fix might be to install a kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ and try to compile. I will try when I get done with work. I think Larry Finger said the issue lies with how Ubuntu patches their kernels. Your kernel version may say 3.13.0-37 but it is a 3.13 kernel that has newer patches installed

But you might already know this https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8192du/issues/24

Did that kernel work with your wifi out of the box, or do you mean that you were able to get the driver to compile?
