Even if it works on Windows and does not on Linux, the problem can still be in the router. The Windows driver has its own MAC-layer stack and it could be tweaked to work with lots of routers. The Linux driver rtl8192ce uses the kernel's own MAC layer called mac80211. The driver from the Realtek site uses its own stack.
If you are having problems with the driver from the Realtek site, please be aware that I do not support that one. The in-kernel driver is tested using 4 different routers. I have a Netgear WNDR3200, a Netgear WNDR3400, a Linksys WRT54G V5, and a Linksys WRT54GL V1.1. The Netgear units and the WRT54G run standard firmware. The WRT54GL runs openWRT Kamikaze. The rtl8723a firmware is for a different device. It has no effect on the RTL81XXCE devices. -- 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
