[Raymond Martin <laseray@xxxxxxxxx>]

Windows is not installed on this computer, so the BIOS upgrade cannot be
installed at this time. The upgrade is indicated as only improving memory
and nothing else on the HP site. Also, when first obtaining this computer a
few Linux Distributions were tried before settling on Ubuntu. The WiFi
worked on those immediately as it did for Ubuntu 11.04 with 2.6.x kernel.

Title:
  10ec:8176 [HP 2000-240CA Notebook PC] Realtek RTL8188CE WiFi not
  working

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Wireless card no longer working under Linux 3.0.x after upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10, system is an HP 2000 laptop with Realtek RTL8188CE card.
  Hardware switch(driver?) for wireless no longer operates. Under 11.04 with 2.6.38.x kernel functionality was correct (except having to toggle button two times to set to on). The switch never operates, even when booting kernel where it could be invoked with 2.6 kernel transiently before system is fully up. Switching back to 2.6.38 kernel restores operation, with the side effect of suspend not working due to other software/kernel issues (this results in a locked blank screen that can only be fixed by removing all power/battery first).
