powertop and iwpriv now work without causing a crash for me as well, with the slightly newer driver:

rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0019.1207.2010

from www.realtek.com

I have had numerous odd bvehaviors with the wireless that I attribute to this problem:
1) random blinking caps-lock kernel panics
2) wireless driver sometimes does not shut down properly on suspend, causing suspend to hang up and fail to power off
3) sometimes the wireless driver will simply stop passing data but does not cause kernel panic

I will report back if I continue to see these behaviors, or if my problems are resolved.
