I did not manage to use my PCI wireless card RTL8191SE with linux 2.6.37. It seems like drivers/staging/rtl8192e/r8192E_core.c is missing implementation for my hardware: $ lspci -s 07:00.0 -n 07:00.0 0280: 10ec:8172 (rev 10) $ lspci -s 07:00.0 -vvx 07:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

Looks like 3.0.0 will contains a driver for RTL8191SE
Yes. That driver is in 3.0.
