Nice long rant. Too bad we don't have a soapbox.

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.
