Title:
  When trying to connect to an AP using an ASUS PCE-N15 wireless card,
  the kernel prints "warn_slowpath_common"

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  My wlan1 interface relates to a ASUS PCE-N15 card ("RTL8188CE
  802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter", managed by the rtl8192ce kernel module).

  I have this /etc/network/interfaces config for this card:

  iface wlan1 inet dhcp
    wireless-essid $ESSID 
    wireless-key $WEP-key

  When I tried to connect using "sudo ifup -v wlan1", the connection to
  the access point was not established.

  Using dmesg, I see some warning related to "warn_slowpath_common".
  Could not reproduce these messages though ...
