Hello Chris, I'm sorry that it has taken me so long to respond. The truth is that none of the hoped-for fixes in the upstream kernels worked. I waited awhile to see if things would get better, but they have not.
Here are my latest experiments, and the results... I downloaded and installed Ubuntu 14.10-beta2 today, and after updating it, the kernel (as identified by the output of "uname -r") was 3.16.0-20-generic. That had the same bug, so no joy there. I then went and downloaded the latest package for the latest upstream kernel: linux- headers-3.17.0-031700rc7-generic_3.17.0-031700rc7.201409281835_amd64.deb Installed this, rebooted, and confirmed that I was now running kernel 3.17.0-031700rc7-generic. But wireless was broken as before. Removed the upstream kernel, ran update-grub just to be sure the system would be bootable, and rebooted. Back in kernel 3.16.0-20-generic and applied my workaround. A reboot later and I was OK, wireless fixed, but not in a nice way. I decided to give another distro a try, in particular, Linux Mint Debian, which is based on Debian Testing. Same bug exists there, and same workaround solves it. This is running kernel 3.11-2-amd64. Well, at least it's not just a Ubuntu thing. Let me know if you have any other experiments that you would like me to try. best regards, Paraquat -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1365844 Title: 0bda:8178 buggy driver rtl8192cu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1365844/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
