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.
