I was afraid of that; the system having this trouble for me is a laptop, so I'm leery of removing those. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/902557 Title: Wireless not working

i think acpi may be crucial for laptops as of its description, but i have desktop PC and it does not bother me too much. its description also says that it is "able to suspend, hibernate and resume the computer", but suspending/resuming works just the same as before for me. -- You received this

Just tried that, a7x. If anything, performance actually seems worse now. I'm now seeing close to 40% packet loss coupled with rapid, frequent Reason 6 dissociations (the cause of said packet loss). My /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192cfw.bin still has the sha1 sum listed by Pauli earlier, so presumab

If they are the same, then there is probably some other difference in our hardware (my adapter was sold as "Asus PCE-N15", not sure how to identify it better). Good luck for the ubuntu/kernel developers to trace this issue... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kerne

@Ryan McClure: Check from dmesg which firmware you are using. Also, give the sha1sum of the corresponding firmware (otherwise it's not possible to know which one you have): $ dmesg|grep -i firmw [ 12.149725] rtl8192ce: Using firmware rtlwifi/rtl8192cfw.bin $ sha1sum /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl819

Thanks, peter b, but I'm not even at that stage yet. The issue I am having is that I cannot compile the driver because of apparent code errors reported by the compiler. If/when I can get the thing to compile, I will be sure to follow your tips from #193/194. -- You received this bug notification
