F14 - RTL8192 staging drivers firmware problem

There are already a couple of threads on similar topics, but they relate to older Fedora versions and i can't find a solution to my problem in them.

I'm trying to get the RTL8192E wireless interface in my Samsung N140 netbook working. I've installed the following packages:

staging-kmod-addons-2.6.35.6-1.fc14.noarch
kmod-staging-2.6.35.6-48.fc14.i686-2.6.35.6-1.fc14.1.i686
kmod-staging-2.6.35.6-1.fc14.1.i686

but i get the following errors in dmesg when i insert the r8192e_pci module:

rtl819xE:ERR in init_firmware()
rtl819xE:ERR!!! _rtl8192_up(): initialization is failed!

NetworkManager now lists a wireless interface, but no networks come up there, even when there's a nearby network present.

After getting these errors, i downloaded the Linux firmware package from the Realtek downloads site and installed that. It didn't make any difference.

Can anyone suggest a solution.
