The driver I downloaded form the realtek site and installed is rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0017.0705.2010.tar.gz (published augustus 24th).
Running ubuntu 10.04.1, kernel 2.6.32-24-generic
I issued these commands to install the kerneldriver:
    $ sudo su
    # make
    # make install
    # exit
    # sudo rmmod r8192se_pci
    # cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/ubuntu
    # rm -Rf rtl8192se
    # sudo modprobe r8192se_pci
