Can't get to work RTL8192SE on a Toshiba A505D

Hi Guys... I have a very frustrating problem

I have been trying to get to work the wireless card on a Toshiba A505D-S6598 with no success...

I tried Fedora 15, 16 and 17 all x86_64, tried different drivers, including the one I downloaded from realtek.

I even tried it on CentOS 6.2 and still nothing...

The frustrating part is that I installed Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit, and it worked from the get go.... I am going nuts since I don't want to use Ubuntu and wan't to stick with Fedora...

I would appreciate any help you can give me...
