(Get the code!)
For me neither 32-bit nor 64-bit Linux rtl8192se driver performed well at all in Mint 8. Connection keeps being dropped all the time and I am not even farther than 7-10 yards away from AP. To sum it up, its a crappy driver, much more inferior to the Windows counterpart. All I can hope for is that Realtek addresses this in the future. Until that happens I will stick with Win7.
Just to add my 2 cents, for all those encountering "error 2" while installing the driver, you need to do this:
unzip the driver in the desired directory (desktop for me)
cd ~/directory where the driver is
sudo -s make
sudo -s make install
That's it. Just restart the computer.
