Well, no, we can't. I can't, at least. Look, I came here to report that I was having issues with a particular card. It doesn't work the way it's supposed to. I'm here because this is the open-source community's forum for announcing and working toward fixing bugs in arbitrary, probably-proprietary hardware. I've written compiled code maybe three times in my life, and it was compiled Python, not C++. I've poked at C++, I can pick out some C++ syntax errors, but that's it.
I'd be delighted to test fixes and report back *immediately*...if I were in a position to do so. I don't know enough. Fill in the blanks and I will guinea pig whatever you want to throw at me, provided it doesn't disrupt the paid work I need to get done with the machine in question. So, when you say "have someone try either kernel 3.11-rc6 or a backports version derived from 3.11?" the immediate thing I think is, "Okay, how do I do that?" But rather than being "that noob guy" asking the question, I wait for someone else who, presumably, knows exactly what that means and how to do it in a non-invasive, easy-to-rollback way. If you want someone to test stuff immediately, as soon as you release fixes, then tell me how and I will be 100% right there. But I don't have the knowledge or tools for that. I don't know how many of the other 70+ folks on this chain do. Maybe I'm the lowest man on the totem pole and everyone else knows exactly how to test that and is just being lazy. I'm willing to bet more than a few are in the exact same boat as me: more-or-less casual Linux users who have some misbehaving hardware and want it to "just work." If you want us to provide you with more than that, then tell us how. -- 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: 10ec:8176 Wireless not working in 12.04 for rtl8192ce (RTL8188CE) Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “linux” source package in Precise: Confirmed Bug description: Wireless no longer seems to work since I upgraded to Precise, it was working (albeit very flaky) ion 11.10, but it never seems to be able to connect to any access points since the upgrade.
