I am not familiar with Fedora. My distro of choice is openSUSE and rtl8192ce has worked on every kernel release and version of openSUSE since kernel 2.6.38 when the driver was added.
The firmware that I use has the following sha1sums: 4fc1e72c5f82cf95c62050c56cce074d90c3e579 /home/finger/linux-firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192cfw.bin c81ec289a236875ab7139c0e357fdcddcc21cc46 /home/finger/linux-firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192cfwU_B.bin 3ff2a534ecb0cb0ea9f7bff66e76b52dec4e157a /home/finger/linux-firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192cfwU.bin These are the official files in the linux-firmware git repo. No other versions are supported. If I understand correctly, the driver worked with Ubuntu when using kernel 3.2 and failed sometime after that. Is that correct, and could someone tell me which kernel after that failed? Also, is there anyone with the knowledge and the necessary hardware that would be willing to download the kernel source from the mainline git repo, and bisect this problem? I could certainly do the bisection, but as the failures do not happen with my system, it would do no good. I could install Ubuntu and do it myself, but that scenario would have very low priority. -- 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.
