r8192se_pci.ko is produced by the out-of-tree rtl8192se driver made
available by Realtek. Its included makefiles installed the module to
that location.
As this driver is not supplied in Debian kernel images, you would need
to recompile/reinstall the module for use with Linux 2.6.39.

A mac80211 driver (rtl8192se) supporting your device (PCI ID 10ec:8172)
will be part of Linux 3.0.
For testing purposes, packages of 3.0 release candidates are currently
available in experimental; firmware-realtek (>= 0.32) is also required.
