I can confirm this issue. With another chip/device I have an AP running fine for years now, but with my new system I have been unsuccessful. I have tried a variety of settings, and I am quite confident that it will not work until the driver/firmware is fixed. Realtek just released a new driver, but until now I was unable to download and test it (permission denied): http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=21&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&ProdID=230&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true&SortByDesc=1
The kernel version of rtl8192se is known to fail in AP mode. It is a problem that I work on when I get time; however, any difficulty in STA mode has higher priority than any in AP mode.
I was able to download the vendor driver from both the USA2 and USA3 mirrors. It compiled under kernel 3.3-rc1 with only a few harmless warnings, and should build OK for any kernel version. It does work in AP mode.
I am comparing the kernel source with "realtek/rtl_92ce_92se_92de_linux_mac80211_0005.1230.2011". Although they started from a common point, there has been considerable divergence, thus a simple comparison of the two sets of sources is a bit difficult.
If all the Realtek FTP sites fail, please let me know, and I will mail you the vendor source. I have not attached it here as it is too big for the ML.
