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.

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 François Valenduc
<francois.valenduc@tvcablenet.be>?

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.

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.

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

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.
François
