I am also affected by this bug. I was able to get around it (somehow) in Beta 2 and RC1 by installing the driver into /lib/modules/'uname -r'/kernel/drivers/net and running depmod -a and copying the firmware to the /lib/firmware. This also worked for reboots, but when I upgraded to the Final; this is now broken again. Problem is, though I did a lot of attempts before I got it to work and I cant really remember what I did. I think the kernel driver is somehow overriding the installed version. And as stated before, the only solution seems to be either:
rmmod r8192se_pci insmod /lib/modules/'uname -r'/kernel/drivers/net/r8192se_pci.ko or run the ./wlan0down - up scripts. BTW.. I also tried the make install which installs it to /lib/modules/'uname -r'/kernel/drivers/net/wireless. Does anyone know the right location for this?? Has anyone tried blacklisting the kernel driver? I don't know if this will also blacklist the installed driver too; but I think I'll try it and write the outcome in this issue.. I've been working with linux for awhile, but still a little bit of a newbie in the kernel world...: ) -- Wifi broken for Toshiba Satellite M500 series with RTL 8192 (r8192se_pci driver) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/544485 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
