Just to let people know, a friend of mine installed 32-bit fedora 11 on his 64-bit Turion machine (Toshiba Satellite) and after recompiling the mainline kernel (kernel.org) (and including the rtl8192e driver, of course) the wireless seems to be working flawlessly. I haven't had a chance to try it with WPA/2, but unencrypted and WEP seem to work just fine.
Perhaps until the 64-bit mystery is solved, this can be a temporary respite for those among us burdened with the RealTek cards. I hope I don't sound like a quitter ;)
