lzming - thanks for this!  I had tried that driver with no success.  I
have used your patch - I ran into some issues with applying it and it
constantly asking me which files to patch.  More on that in a moment.  I
am getting better results, although not there yet.

First - the wait for BIT6 return value 38 still comes into my
/var/log/messages but it's not a spamfest anymore - it looks like it's
cycling about once a minute.  The wlan device still increments when I
run the wlan0down/up commands and on reboot.  Also when I reboot, the
return value is 3f not 38 until I do the wlan0down/up command when it
goes to 38.

Let me put some context around the log I'm attaching now.  Here's the
steps I took and what I saw:

ATTEMPT 1 of Patch:
- I had already done an rmmod on the previously installed driver which was of 
the version you list above.
- I then tried to apply the patch.  I had a lot of trouble with it as it kept 
wanting to know what file to patch no matter where I put the patch file, so I 
ultimately ran it and gave it the relative path of the files it was looking for 
(which was the same as what was in the patch file to begin with).  When I did 
this, it prompted me for reverting previous patches.  At first I took the 
default "n" - this let me patch the first file but the second one bombed.  I 
think said "n" for the first file and chose to "apply anyway" and "y" for the 
second file which went through with no further issue 
- reboot and saw "wait for BIT6 return value 3f" as you can see in the logs. 
- I then ran wlan0down/wlan0up and that changed to "wait for BIT6 return value 
38".  I noticed network manager was working much better as well at this point, 
but still no connection.  I tried configuring a connection to my wpa enabled 
wifi device and it never connected.
- I tried `iwlist scan` command and wlan18 gave me "no scan results" but at 
least it tried (first time it had done this).
- I tried the runwpa script and got several "CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS" messages 
before breaking out of it and for each attempt a cycle of "wait for BIT6 return 
value 38" messages.

ATTEMPT 2 of Patch:
- I did an rmmod on r8192se_pci
- I did a make uninstall on the installed patch and removed the entire directory
- Unpacked the rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0013.1204.2009.tar.gz file freshly again
- I then tried to apply the patch.  Again specified path to first file, when 
prompted about reverting previous patches I said "y" for it and second file 
both which went through with no further issue.
- reboot and saw "wait for BIT6 return value 3f" as you can see in the logs. 
- I then ran wlan0down/wlan0up and that changed to "wait for BIT6 return value 
38".  I noticed network manager was working much better as well at this point, 
but still no connection.  I tried configuring a connection to my wpa enabled 
wifi device and it never connected.
- I tried `iwlist scan` command and wlan21 gave me "no scan results"
- I tried the runwpa script and got several "CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS" messages 
before breaking out of it and for each attempt a cycle of "wait for BIT6 return 
value 38" messages.

Attached is the /var/log/messages for all events today.
