Bug Description

I'd like to report that on my Samsung N510 with ION LE, I can't get my wireless to work.
In Lucid, the kernel module r8192_pci used to work for my onboard wlan adapter.

In Maverick kernel, the module r8192e_pci is loaded. It creates the interface and I can also see available networks, but I can't associate with them.

Kernel message look like

And it just keeps going on with these messages and never completes the connection.

Same with my Samsung n510. Lucid (2.6.32-25) worked. With Maverick (2.6.35-22) I see the list of wireless networks, but it cannot associate with any of them, whether they are password protected or not.
I see some messages like this in my dmesg by the way:
rtl819xE:Download Firmware: Put code fail!
rtl819xE:ERR in CPUcheck_maincodeok_turnonCPU()
rtl819xE:Err in init_firmware()
rtl819xE:Err!!! NicIFEnableNIC(): initialization is failed!

I also noticed that both r8192e_pci and r8192se_pci were loaded. I tried blacklisting each one (so only the other would be loaded). I tried both ways. Now I keep r8192se_pci blacklisted, and I can get r8192e_pci to work *occasionally* by unloading, waiting for a while, and loading it.
So this driver is very unstable, at least on this laptop. Even with lucid, while the driver worked every time, often it would stop working after waking up from suspend and only a reboot would fix it.

Same here: Virgin install on N510 with RTL8192 (r8192e) WLAN chipset: List of wireless networks seen, no association possible. Logs look the same as in the original post.

WLAN not working is a complete blocker on N510 as of now.

Temporary solution which works on my system.

First install wireless drivers from https://launchpad.net/~voria/+archive/ppa. Then blacklist wireless drivers present in the default kernel by appending "blacklist r8192se_pci" and "blacklist r8192e_pci" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf.
