Hi, |

I had a rtl8192ce in my laptop. Nothing but problems with Linux. Don't |
| 4 |
know why, but the signal strength always was much better when using Windows. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
For me, the rtl8192ce only worked when using it as a module, not hard |
| 7 |
compiled in the kernel. |
| 8 |
Second, it is important to know that this WiFi Card stopped working for |
| 9 |
me with kernels > 3.17. The card was detected but it didn't show up any |
| 10 |
WiFis. |
| 11 |
I read that there were fundamental changes to the rtlwifi stack in 3.18. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Eventually I decided to buy a new card and better card (Intel Centrino, |
| 14 |
I now can connect to 5GhZ networks :) ) for my laptop and I'm so happy |
| 15 |
now :) |

No more Realtek WiFi cards for me. |

> Today I've bought a new USB wi-fi adapter which has rtl8192cu chip. I've plugged it into my lubuntu computer and it worked out of the box, however soon it drops the connection. I googled it and found out that many people have the same problem with this chip ( but mostly with *buntu flavours). I also found the workaround here: https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes This box will be soon ( I hope ) will be transferred to Gentoo. I wonder if some one here is using this chip with Gentoo with new kernels, does it run ok and if this problem of *buntu specific? Thanks |
