If the firmware file does exist on your system, then check the md5sum
for that file. It should be bccf9bf2276621770f101a60736b4004.
Thanks for looking over my submission.
The file rtl8192sefw.bin exists in /lib/firmware/rtlwifi and the
md5sum is correct.
Finally, what is the PCI ID for your card as shown by the 'lspci -nn'
command? That info is missing from your posting.

Please use "reply all" to respond, and do not drop the linux-wireless ML. Unless
you want to make a deposit to my Paypal account, I do not do private debugging.
On my system running the mainline git kernel (git describe is
v3.0-rc5-124-g60451cb), I get the following for 'lspci -nnv' run as root:

The device is generating some warnings in the logs that I need to explore;
however, it is working.
I have no idea why your device is failing. Perhaps Chaoming will have some ideas
when he reads this.
