Comment 2 Thomas Backlund 2011-03-20 18:57:50 CET 
there are several rtl drivers in 2.6.38...

Can you provide lspcidrake -v to see if it's supported by in-kernel driver.

Comment 4 Thomas Backlund 2011-04-24 13:18:23 CEST 
Sorry for answering so late...

For now we will keep the separate rpms for this nic, so:

An updated dkms-r8192se-0019.1207.2010-1.mga1 just got pushed to core/release and its firmware rtl8192se-firmware-0019.1207.2010-1.mga1 to nonfree/release 


I'll try to review the issue again when we switch to 2.6.40+ series kernels when several fixes and cleanups are merged upstream
