I think I have such a device in my Thinkpad:

03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8191SEvB Wireless LAN Controller [10ec:8172] (rev 10)

I could give them a run soon. Do you have them in a tree somewhere I
could pull?

Your device is claimed by the new driver.

You can get the code from

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lwfinger/rtl8192se.git

This tree is based on Linville's wireless-testing tree with these 12
patches applied.

Ok, pulled, merged with mainline, built and currently using it to read
mail over imap! I wish everything else in Linux worked that way :).

Good job, thanks!

You are very welcome. I'm glad to hear that it works for you. That driver missed the 2.6.39 merge window due to an ASPM problem that crashed my computer without any possibility of seeing what caused the blowup. I was somewhat afraid that others would get similar results even though Realsil did not see the problem.
