Yes, I have been using the patched rtl8192cu driver for a month without any issues. The guys on the linux-wireless team were really good to work with. I suggest opening your own bug on launchpad and then follow the directions in comment #5. -- You received this bug notification because you are a

I received a response from upstream [0]. He believed the issue is "a bad interaction with the Ubuntu front-end to wireless." Doesn't Ubuntu just use Network-Manager? Are there any Ubuntu specific modifications? A patch was provided, but it is not expected to correct the issue. I am going to atte
