The kernel version of rtl8192se is known to fail in AP mode. It is a problem
that I work on when I get time; however, any difficulty in STA mode has higher
priority than any in AP mode.
I was able to download the vendor driver from both the USA2 and USA3 mirrors. It
compiled under kernel 3.3-rc1 with only a few harmless warnings, and should
build OK for any kernel version. It does work in AP mode.
I am comparing the kernel source with
"realtek/rtl_92ce_92se_92de_linux_mac80211_0005.1230.2011". Although they
started from a common point, there has been considerable divergence, thus a
simple comparison of the two sets of sources is a bit difficult.
If all the Realtek FTP sites fail, please let me know, and I will mail you the
vendor source. I have not attached it here as it is too big for the ML.
