I finally fixed this problem by compiling and installing the latest
drivers from Linux Wireless in Ubuntu 12.04, in my case the "compat-
wireless-3.5.1-1-snpc.tar.bz2" package:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download/stable/
One needs the header files for his kernel and the build-essentials
package. I recommend also to run the script "driver-select" with the
option rtlwifi before compiling because one doesn't need the other
drivers and it reduces building time:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential
tar jvxf compat-wireless-3.5.1-1-snpc.tar.bz2
cd compat-wireless-3.5.1-1-snpc
./scripts/driver-select rtlwifi
make
sudo make install
But the downside is you have to rebuild the driver after every kernel
update.
I'm running the driver for two days now with excessive closing and
opening the lid and didn't get any disconnects.

Title:
Realtek RTL8188CE wireless does not work in Ubuntu 12.04LTS
Status in “gnome-nettool” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I have a computer using a wifi device Realtek RTL8188CE, which is
constantly dropping connection and not being able to reconnect.
1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System ->
About Ubuntu
Ubuntu 12.04LTS freshinstall from 2012-11-04
2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy
pkgname' or by checking in Software Center
I only know the modules that generate problems:
- rtl8192ce
- rtl8192c_common
3) What you expected to happen
WiFi to work stable.
4) What happened instead
WiFi too unstable to be used: connects (WPA) but after some seconds drops,
tries to reconnect and cannot again until reboot.
(* as of research, there are issues with realtek since version 11.10 *)
(* I just found a question but no bug regarding that device - the question
from July is not answered and automatically closed *)
