I put my RTL8192E in my computer, and using kernel 3.3-rc6, I got both rtl8192se 
and r8192e_pci loaded as expected, with r8192e_pci active. The bad news is that 
the driver got broken since the last time I tested it. I'm not the maintainer, 
and only acquired one of the cards when I discovered the PCI ID overlap with 
rtl8192se, which I do maintain.

I will try to bisect the driver to see what might be wrong.

The main difference between our two systems is the user-space components. My 
system is running version 173 of udevd, which is likely the component in question.

You should be able to blacklist rtl8192se and rtlwifi to get r8192e_pci working. 
Let me know if 3.2.9 works. Mine is unable to authenticate with 3.3-rc6.
