With all the information you provided, you forgot one detail that is absolutely critical, namely the PCI ID. There are at least three varieties of RTL8191SE chip, and I have no idea which one you have. I also recommend that you try either the wireless-testing git repo or the mainline git repo. There are a lot of changes that cannot be backported.
