Public bug reported: The rtl8192ce driver in this package supports the RTL8192CE chip, but it can't work because /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192cfw.bin is missing from the package, and not included anywhere else in Lucid.
Copying this file from Realtek's 0007.0809.2012 driver release appears to make the card initialise and work fine. admin@classmate:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS Release: 10.04 admin@classmate:~$ uname -a Linux classmate 2.6.32-45-generic-pae #99-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 16 16:46:26 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux admin@classmate:~$ modinfo rtl8192ce filename: /lib/modules/2.6.32-45-generic-pae/updates/compat-wireless-3.3/rtl8192ce.ko firmware: rtlwifi/rtl8192cfwU_B.bin firmware: rtlwifi/rtl8192cfwU.bin firmware: rtlwifi/rtl8192cfw.bin description: Realtek 8192C/8188C 802.11n PCI wireless license: GPL author: Larry Finger <larry.fin...@lwfinger.net> author: Realtek WlanFAE <wlan...@realtek.com> author: lizhaoming <chaoming...@realsil.com.cn> srcversion: A065A94A6682C70D00CDAE7 alias: pci:v000010ECd00008176sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000010ECd00008177sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000010ECd00008178sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000010ECd00008191sv*sd*bc*sc*i* depends: rtlwifi,compat_firmware_class,rtl8192c-common,compat,mac80211 vermagic: 2.6.32-45-generic-pae SMP mod_unload modversions 586TSC ** Affects: linux-backports-modules-2.6.32 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1081098 Title: Missing firmware for RTL8192CE: rtl8192cfw.bin To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-backports-modules-2.6.32/+bug/1081098/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
