Drivers in drivers/staging are not supported by this group. We look after the
ones in drivers/net/wireless. As the log message tells you, you have been warned
about using anything from staging. To see the full text, use 'dmesg | grep staging'.
I have no idea if it will help, but I suspect that 2.6.35 might be better than
2.6.32. You might also do a 'modinfo r8192_pci' to see who is listed as the
module author. He/she might be able to help.
