Even if it works on Windows and does not on Linux, the problem can still
be in the router. The Windows driver has its own MAC-layer stack and it
could be tweaked to work with lots of routers. The Linux driver
rtl8192ce uses the kernel's own MAC layer called mac80211. The driver
from the Realtek site uses its own stack.

If you are having problems with the driver from the Realtek site, please
be aware that I do not support that one.

The in-kernel driver is tested using 4 different routers. I have a
Netgear WNDR3200, a Netgear WNDR3400, a Linksys WRT54G V5, and a Linksys
WRT54GL V1.1. The Netgear units and the WRT54G run standard firmware.
The WRT54GL runs openWRT Kamikaze.

The rtl8723a firmware is for a different device. It has no effect on the
RTL81XXCE devices.

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:

Status in “linux” source package in Precise:
  Confirmed

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.
