I have tested this workaround, and it does not work for x64 OS. Having searched all the bugs listing the issues with the RTL8192E driver, I discovered that no official bug has been setup for the Karmic AMD64 OS. This is the closest thread I've found. I have found workarounds, repairs, and ndiswrapper options for the 32-bit OS, but due to a failure on behalf of some bug-reporters to read the descriptions thoroughly, a lot of unproductive banter is all that exists for x64 beyond this page.
So, I hope this is the official bug-posting. What needs to be done to bump this up in importance? To the devs: this driver is unmistakably missing from the repository and from Realtek's website. You can request an emailed driver from Realtek, but when compiled, it only recognizes the card. It will not make it active. Is there someone who can start the process of figuring this issue out? Those of us with onboard 8192e PCI wireless cards are frustrated by having to use a USB external wireless or wired connection. Please help? *tested in both network-manager and wicd *tested with realtek's purportedly "working" driver (rtl8192e_linux_2_6_x64.tar.gz) emailed by Realtek support *tested with ndiswrapper and the winxp x64 driver, vista x64 driver, and other windows 32-bit drivers (just for kicks) lspci line: 02:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
