Actually I managed to load the modules and wlan0 shows up. (I follwed your 
advice to use the same Fedora kernel and run depmod). Unfortunately I'm still

I filed this bug http://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2265 with Fusion

The TODO-file in kernel-3.3.fc16/linux-3.3.x86_64/drivers/staging/rtl8192e/ 
reads:

* merge into drivers/net/wireless/rtllib/rtl8192e
* clean up function naming

But when is, of course, another question.
