[Your Dudeness <1096989@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rick D,

I have a L75D-A7280, and the wifi works when you follow the instructions
in this answer http://askubuntu.com/a/322737/128334.

As you may already know, the video drivers aren't quite ready, but the
generic drivers work ok as long as you're not gaming or doing anything
too demanding.  Yes, with the generic drivers, unfortunately, the video
processing is hoisted on the main proc, but it's not the end of the
world for me since I don't really do anything graphically intensive.  I
would dual boot for now.

You can follow my steps in this question to get your video working
http://askubuntu.com/questions/322755/unity-hangs-after-installing-amd-
catalyst-13-6-linux-beta-driver

Everything more or less works for me.

Please click the link above, "This bug affects 10 people", and add
yourself to the list.

Title:
  10ec:8179 No wireless support for Lenovo IdeaCentre Q190 (RTL8188E)

Status in HWE Next Project:
  New
Status in The Linux Kernel:
  New
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'm on 12.10. The wifi adapter doesn't seem to be recognized at all:
  doesn't show up in NetworkManager, no adapter listed by iwconfig. The
  wifi card seems to be a RTL8188E (lspci -nn tells me it's 10ec:8179).

  I've tried to:
     - install the Realtek driver for the RTL8188CE (seemed close enough...)
     - install the driver from https://github.com/tianon/linux-rtlwifi-8188ce
     - install linux-backports-modules-cw
     - upgrade to kernel 3.7

  None of those worked.
