What name would give to the people that do the kind of Invalid ->
Confirmed -> Invalid -> Confirmed toggling that was taking place before
I used that name? At least that silly nonsense stopped!

I have grown rather tired of the kinds of things that are said and done
on these lists concerning the Realtek drivers. I am not an employee of
Realtek, nor am I paid by them. In addition, I have no knowledge of what
is needed to make the chip work other than what I deduce by reading the
code! You can also do that.

If I had not done the porting to the kernel, you would all be trying to
figure out how to compile the factory drivers on newer kernels, and
suffering the kernel crashes and memory leaks that happened before I
reported those problems to Realtek.

One other thing that irks me is that when I post a potential fix in the
form of a patch, it might take one or two WEEKS before anyone tries it
and reports back. By that time, it is difficult to remember what is
happening or even why I thought the change might be a good idea. In
addition, you can imagine how high I think the priority is for that
particular complaint.

Bug description:
  Wireless no longer seems to work since I upgraded to Precise, it was working (albeit very flaky) ion 11.10, but it never seems to be able to connect to any access points since the upgrade.
  It can see all the available networks, but it can't seem to connect to any of them.
