wlan RTL8191se dropping connections

[Swiftme]

Hi,

I'm having problems with my wlan nic with BT5 R3 , installed on a laptop. It's RTL8191se and it's dropping connections when connected to my wlan network (WPA2-AES) or it cannot validate when trying to connecting at all.

Below some necessary info:

root@bt:~# dmesg | grep -e wlan -e 819

[    9.545125] bridge-wlan0: down
[    9.545149] bridge-wlan0: detached

So it loads up allright and uses the right firmware.

root@bt:/lib/modules/3.2.6/kernel/drivers/staging/rtl8192e# ls -all

-rw-r--r--  1 root root 540936 2012-02-17 17:04 r8192e_pci.ko

It also seems to use a recent driver. So would replacing this with the latest one from the realtek site make any sense???

root@bt:~# airmon-ng

Interface       Chipset         Driver

wlan0           Unknown         rtl8192se - [phy0]

Unfortunately it is not recognised by airmon.

Does anyone else encounters this? Searching in the forum and in the Bugtrack list didn't reveal it.

Anyone has some ideas to solve it?

Regards.
