realtek 8192se woes
I'm running alpha 5 with full updated xbmc.

The Tenda Wireless-N150 USB Network Adapter I had been using on my RPi decided to die. I bought a SANOXYTM USB 802.11n 150m Mini Wireless Lan Adapter to replace it. It has a realtek RTL8192SE chipset.

Initially when I connected it dmesg reported that it loaded the rt2800usb module and then threw an error message saying that the chipset was wrong.

I found and installed a firmware-realtek package which had the drivers for the 8192se. Rebooted and tried again, same deal.

I've found the source for the drivers on the realtek site:

http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=21&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true

ftp://WebUser:wK9xBuD5@208.70.202.219/cn/wlan/92ce_se_de_linux_mac80211_0005.1230.2011.tar.gz

I installed build-essentials via apt-get and attempted to complete a make. I'm got the following error:

Code:
*** /lib/modules/3.6.11+/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.

I googled around and learned that this happens when you don't have the linux-headers package installed. I followed the common advice of doing a:

Code:
apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`

But it reports that there is no such package linux-headers-3.6.11.

I did an apt-cache search for linux-headers and found linux-headers-3.6-trunk-rpi and tried installing that, but that obviously creates a new directory in the /lib/modules. I tried making symlinks in /lib/modules/3.6.11+/ pointing /build and /source to the matching directories in /lib/modules/3.6-trunk-rpi/ directory but that just results in:

Code:
root@xbian:/home/xbian/rlt8192se# make
make -C /lib/modules/3.6.11+/build M=/home/xbian/rlt8192se/rtl_92ce_92se_92de_linux_mac80211_0005.1230.2011 modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.6-trunk-rpi'
  CC [M]  /home/xbian/rlt8192se/base.o
/home/xbian/rlt8192se/base.c: In function ‘_rtl_init_mac80211’:
/home/xbian/rlt8192se/base.c:319:6: error: ‘IEEE80211_HW_BEACON_FILTER’ undeclared (first use in this function)
/home/xbian/rlt8192se/base.c:319:6: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
make[4]: *** [/home/xbian/rlt8192se/base.o] Error 1
make[3]: *** [_module_/home/xbian/rlt8192se] Error 2
make[2]: *** [sub-make] Error 2
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.6-trunk-rpi'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Getting kind of lost down this rabbit hole, any tips would be greatly appreciated.
