John,
This driver is the one you asked about a couple of days ago. If possible to get this in
2.6.39, please do so.

I certainly don't understand that part. Your PCI ID (10ec:8172) exactly matches
one of the cards I have.

Yes, those problems are resolved.
I will be submitting it soon as it is better than no driver. Chaoming just sent
me some new revisions that I would like to integrate first.
It will be sent soon so as to get it into 2.6.40 - .39 was too much of a push.

This driver looks acceptable (certainly better than no driver),
but patch 11 (v2) doesn't seem to apply. Did you get a
resolution to the problems reported by Fran?ois Valenduc

I probably did something wrong when I tested this driver last week. In
fact, the rtl8192se module is well automatically loaded. I think the
problem is related to the firmware. I found the following lines in dmesg:
[ 411.306526] rtl8192se 0000:06:00.0: setting latency timer to 64
[ 411.324081] rtl8192se:rtl92s_init_sw_vars():<0-0> Failed to request
firmware!
[ 411.324086] rtlwifi:rtl_pci_probe():<0-0> Can't init_sw_vars.
[ 411.324126] rtl8192se 0000:06:00.0: PCI INT A disabled
I am using the firmware provided by realtek on this webpage:
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=21&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true
It seems I should use another one ? If so, where can I find it ?
Thanks for your help.

Cool -- that sounds great.
Thanks, Larry!

Thanks for your efforts. However, even if I managed to compile this
driver, it doesn't detect my wifi card. So, I hope this new version will
solve this problem.
