There are two devices with PCI ID 0x10ec:0x8192, namely RTL8192E and
RTL8192SE. The method of distinguishing them is by the revision ID
at offset 0x8 of the PCI configuration space. If the value is 0x10,
then the device uses rtl8192se for a driver.

Greg,
This patch should be applied to kernel 3.0 to prevent problems if both
rtl8192se and r8192e_pci are configured. There is a similar patch to
rtl8192se that is submitted to John Linville's tree. As r8192e_pci
is in older kernels, this patch should also be applied to stable.
