[Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have recently done a complete rewrite on the gain control code in
rtl8192c. The primary reason for this was to implove the connectivity in
rtl8192cu, but the new code also impacts rtl8192ce. At the moment, I am
testing a 10ec:8178 RTL8192CE device with good results (RX throughput up
to 65 Mbps). The next card to test will be an RTL8188CE.

These patches will be submitted with a notation that they be backported
to stable kernels; however, I have no idea how long it will take for
them to hit the stable kernel versions, and then to get into the Ubuntu
kernels.

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
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.
