All firmware files for Realtek devices are in the linux-firmware git repo. Surely Ubuntu provides this as a standard package. I know that openSUSE and Fedora both do.
There is a patch that was merged into kernel 3.7 and is being backported into all the stable kernels to detect a so-called B-Cut of the RTL8188CE cards. This patch helps a number of those cards. In addition, there is another patch that implements full support for all these cards, but it did not make the merge for 3.7. Furthermore, it will not be backported as it is too invasive. Users with this card should be able to get full support using kernel 3.8 or compat-wireless packages from November 1, 2012 or later. Of course, that date is just a guess. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/902557 Title: Wireless not working in 12.04 for rtl8192ce (RTL8188CE) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/902557/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
