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.
