I was actually wrong when I stated everything worked fine. I had forgotten I was not using any encryption for my wireless when I was doing all the testing.

The moment I turned on encryption on my router I had problems all over again. It turns out it was my router setting.

I don't know if this will work or not for anyone out there having this problem, but I had one bugger of a time getting the realtek 8192SE to work on my Toshiba Satellite. The fix actually was not on my computer, but on the router. The moment I changed the router from both “WPA2 and WPA” to just WPA everything worked. I had used the updated drivers, compiled drivers, did everything suggested in forums and in bug reports and nothing worked. Making that one change in my router made everything work perfectly.

I've tried several live CD's, all of which now work with my wireless 8192SE after making that change to my router.

I'm just still learning the finer intricacies of Linux myself. I hope this helps someone out there, though I don't think this is a fix. It just worked for me...
