I have recently done a complete rewrite on the gain control code in rtl8192c. The primary reason for this was to implove the connectivity in rtl8192cu, but the new code also impacts rtl8192ce. At the moment, I am testing a 10ec:8178 RTL8192CE device with good results (RX throughput up to 65 Mbps). The next card to test will be an RTL8188CE.
These patches will be submitted with a notation that they be backported to stable kernels; however, I have no idea how long it will take for them to hit the stable kernel versions, and then to get into the Ubuntu kernels. -- 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.
