Sorry, my explaination where funded on the assumption that, as far as I experienced, it is not possible to successfully load a module into the kernel (without triggering a magic number mismatch) when it was compiled from a different source tree, that is surely the case. So I might missed something recently...? Note that package firmware-realtek (with support for RTL8191SE, v>0.31) is available from squeeze-backports too, so Paul could use aptitude to get it, this seems more clean and sustainable.
