No joy for me, Pauli. I tried simply copying the firmware included with the new driver into /lib/firmware/rtlwifi and verified the SHA1 sum matched the one you listed. I rebooted the machine (to avoid dealing with any rmmod/modprobe shenanigans) and continue to see ~10% packet loss due to repeated Reason 6 deauthentication.
Relevant SHA1 sums for the drivers I have: 43a40703ee52f1155531786df285e08984e72863 /lib/modules/3.8.0-27-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtlwifi.ko 4f17ae4b7d5fe1144e60428f93873b0bd5375298 /lib/modules/3.8.0-27-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8192ce/rtl8192ce.ko -- 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
