Meanwhile I tried ndiswrapper without success:

ndiswrapper from ppa:crass/ndiswrapper
https://launchpad.net/~crass/+archive/ndiswrapper on kernel
3.11.0-20-generic #34~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 3 17:25:07 UTC 2014
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I downloaded the vendor drivers from http://www.tp-
link.com.de/support/download/?model=TL-WN8200ND&version=V1 where I used
the newest version TL-WN8200ND_V1_131119

After installing ndiswrapper and unpacking the windows drivers I created
symlinks such that the path to the .inf file does not contain spaces (I
found a hint online that ndiswrapper fails with spaces in the path).

I tried all four 64bit driver versions with the following result:
* winxp driver is detected as valid driver by ndisgtk, plugging in the USB 
dongle shows the log line of the USB connect in the syslog and then the whole 
computer freezes, no CTRL+ALT+DELETE works, no CTRL+ALT+F1 works. after 
rebooting more lines of the syslog are missing

* windows vista and windows 7 drivers are detected as "invalid driver"
by ndisgtk

* windows 8 driver is detected as valid driver, plugging in the USB
dongle gives errors in the syslog (see attached ndiswin8syslog.txt) but
the computer does not freeze but the dongle also does not work, no
network device appears

(I have also blacklisted the native modules to make sure they do not
interfere.)
