Since adding previous comment, I've installed rtl8192ce from source (from Realtek's "92ce_se_de_linux_mac80211_0004.0816.2011.tar.gz".) The wifi is now working beyond its previous lifetime. The only strange behavior I've seen so far is that I was presented with *3* dialog windows for re-entering wifi credentials even though I could see that the wifi icon wasn't "thinking" with the arcs pulsing in and out. I clicked `Connect` on all three windows (with cached credentials still entered) and everything still worked fine. I'd been presented with the credential input windows before reinstalling rtl8192ce, although it was never more than one at a time, the wifi icon was always "thinking", and I was never able to successfully reconnect (having to reboot instead.)
I'm happy to dig into this further (with my very limited knowledge of kernel internals) if someone more knowledgeable can point the way. I've already tried turning up NetworkManager's logging both via NetworkManager.conf and by adding the necessary flags to /etc/init/network-manager.conf but it either didn't work or (more likely) I have no idea where to look for log output (would it be /dev/null'd when launched via upstart?) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/132042 Title: wireless stops working until reboot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/132042/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
