[Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am not familiar with Fedora. My distro of choice is openSUSE and
rtl8192ce has worked on every kernel release and version of openSUSE
since kernel 2.6.38 when the driver was added.

The firmware that I use has the following sha1sums:

4fc1e72c5f82cf95c62050c56cce074d90c3e579  /home/finger/linux-firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192cfw.bin
c81ec289a236875ab7139c0e357fdcddcc21cc46  /home/finger/linux-firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192cfwU_B.bin
3ff2a534ecb0cb0ea9f7bff66e76b52dec4e157a  /home/finger/linux-firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192cfwU.bin

These are the official files in the linux-firmware git repo. No other
versions are supported.

If I understand correctly, the driver worked with Ubuntu when using
kernel 3.2 and failed sometime after that. Is that correct, and could
someone tell me which kernel after that failed?

Also, is there anyone with the knowledge and the necessary hardware that
would be willing to download the kernel source from the mainline git
repo, and bisect this problem? I could certainly do the bisection, but
as the failures do not happen with my system, it would do no good. I
could install Ubuntu and do it myself, but that scenario would have very
low priority.

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.
