[Bug 1075421] Re: Realtek RTL8188CE wireless does not work in Ubuntu 12.04LTS

 

Carlos Blanquer Bogacz, this bug was reported a while ago and there
hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is
still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest
development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  Realtek RTL8188CE wireless does not work in Ubuntu 12.04LTS

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have a computer using a wifi device Realtek RTL8188CE, which is
  constantly dropping connection and not being able to reconnect.

  1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu
  Ubuntu 12.04LTS freshinstall from 2012-11-04

  2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy
  pkgname' or by checking in Software Center

  I only know the modules that generate problems:
  - rtl8192ce
  - rtl8192c_common

  3) What you expected to happen
  WiFi to work stable.

  4) What happened instead
  WiFi too unstable to be used: connects (WPA) but after some seconds drops, tries to reconnect and cannot again until reboot.

  (* as of research, there are issues with realtek since version 11.10 *)
  (* I just found  a question but no bug regarding that device - the question from July is not answered and automatically closed *)
