By any chance does anyone knows if rtl8192se will make it into > this release ? As part of our collaborative effort, Realtek has sent me a mac80211-based driver for the RTL8192SE. It will be submitted to the wireless mailing list for review once the driver for the RTL8192CU is accepted. The earliest this would happen is 2.6.39, but I think 2.6.40 is more realistic. I also have a driver for the RTL8192DE that will follow the RTL8192SE. The driver for the RTRL8192SU does not use mac80211 and is in 2.6.37. It is known as r8712u. Larry
