For me I just had to download the rtl8192sefw.bin from the realtek
firmware deb. You can install through the package manager, though for me
I had to manually install it to the /lib/firmware/ dir making sure to
keep the directory rtlwifi/rtl8192sefw.bin. Then just reboot and you
will be good to go. I found that if you dont have it in that directory
it will not find it in the user version of the directory.
The other thing I had to do was ditch NetworkManager and install Wicd. I
am running Wheezy KDE, 3.1.0-1-amd64
Hope this may help
