Package: firmware-realtek
Version: 0.32

Since the update of the kernel from 2.6.38-2 to 2.6.39-2, I cannot get my card to work.

I have re-installed the package with the new kernel running.

With 2.6.38 kernel, the r8192se_pci.ko module activates the card. It is not present with 2.6.39:

Thanks, Geoff.  Looks like this is not a bug.
