Penalvch, Because one or two people decide to purchase a USB wireless card, which has to be carried around with them so they can have network access, doesn't mean everybody is going to be able to get by with that Bandaid.
Sure a person could change the internal card but in my situation I would have to locate a modified BIOS to disable Lenova's white-listing issue. I would personally opt to carry around a card and hope it doesn't break off in the laptops USB port before updating the BIOS with something not created by the manufacturer. Please do not close this bug report. This report, created a year and a half ago, is still relevant and I think it shows with more than 250 posts (many recent) and more than 70 people. I'm willing to bet that since 70+ people figured out what was happening on their hardware (at first I was thinking it was a simple DNS issue), found this bug report, bothered to create an account here, and than posted on this topic means there are actually a lot of other people that are effected by this problem. The issue is clearly is not "fixed". Please do not treat it as such. -- 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: 10ec:8176 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
