I have found the solution:
# USB device 0x:0x (rtl8192cu)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", \
ATTR{address}=="00:e0:4c:81:92:*", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", \
 ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="wlan*", NAME="wlan0"

I don't use neither
ATTR{idVendor}=="0586", nor
ATTR{idProduct}=="341f"

and it still works.
Why?
