I don't think that's what's happening and it wouldn't be a bug in
firmware-realtek anyway.

Installing firmware-realtek from testing/unstable might help, as the
version in stable is meant to work with Linux 2.6.32 and earlier.

Are you by any chance using a Raspberry Pi?  You should probably report
to their developers that they need to fix the package selection in their
Debian installation.

In any case the kernel you're running is not an official Debian package
and the Debian kernel team doesn't support it.  But if you can reproduce
the problem when using a current Linux kernel (3.3) and firmware then do
report this to the upstream developers on the mailing list
<linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org>.
