Title:
  [10ec:8179] No wireless support for Lenovo IdeaCentre Q190 (RTL8188EE)

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

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.
