Content of /var/log/messages from today

Description of problem:
I'm trying to install wireless card Pentagram horNet P 6132-10 (with
Realtek chipset: RTL8188SU) on Fedora 14 64bit.
When I plug card to USB port, the system freezes up and I cannot do anything.
I tried to compile & install drivers from either enclosed CD or newest driver
from chipset vendor site
(http://218.210.127.131/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=21&...).
I have even tried to do this driver installation with kmod-staging but it
failed in the same way.
I'm sure that the card is in 100% OK because it works under Windows 7 64bit
and Ubuntu 10.10 32 bit.
I'm just wondering if this is because of lack of the card firmware.
Under Ubuntu I have catalogue /lib/firmware/RTL8192SE (in FC 14 I haven't) with
3 files: rtl8192sfw.bin, rtl8192sfw74.bin, rtl8192sfw492.bin.
Coping it into FC didn't help.
I should add that under this Fedora I checked another card and it's working
properly.

In my humble opinion this system freeze doesn't look like kernel panic caused
by kmod-staging, because:
+ the keybords LEDs aren't blinking and I haven't found it in system logs (see
enclosed file)
+ I get it even without kmod-staging.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 14 64 bit (uname -r :  2.6.35.11-83.fc14.x86_64) with rpmfusion and all
updates.

Additional package kmod-staging: kmod-staging.x86_64 0:2.6.35.10-1.fc14.1

Wireless card Pentagram horNet P 6132-10 but you can test it with any card
based on Realtek chipset RTL 8188 SU (it's quite common).


How reproducible: Quite well.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Before installing try to plug card into USB port - system freezes so hard
reset needed.
2. Download latest linux drivers from chipset vendor site:
http://218.210.127.131/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=21&...
3. Change current user to root, and unpack tar archive from driver folder into
/usr/src/
4. Change current folder to:
/usr/src/rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.20101111
5. make
6. make install
Content of Makefile:
> install: 
> 	install -p -m 644 $(MODULE_NAME).ko  $(MODDESTDIR) 
> 	/sbin/depmod -a ${KVER} 
where:
>  MODULE_NAME = 8712u
>  KVER  := $(shell uname -r) 
>  MODDESTDIR := /lib/modules/$(KVER)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
I checked this manually and I have 8712u.ko in .../net/wireless/

7. modprobe 8712u (it returns nothing so it's OK)
8. lsmod | grep 8712u (it returns single line sth like "8712u      334223  0"
so it's OK.
9. Now I have installed kernel module, but hardly had I plugged card into USB
port, the system freezed up.
10. I tried point 2-9 with and without kmod-staging (no results).
11. I copied firmware (/lib/firmware/RTL8192SE) from Ubuntu 10.10 but with no
results.

Actual results:
Whenever I plug this card to USB the system freezes.

Expected results:
Card working properly.
