Ubuntu 12.10/12.04 Realtek rtl8188ce Wireless Adapter Issues
Recently my dorm wireless network has been working fine on all devices except my Ubuntu 12.10 laptop.
So I did some research and some simple fixes that have seemed to work for now are:
-change router security to WPA2 only
-change router channel from automatic to either 1 or 11
-if router is b/g/n, attempt to change to b/g (was not able to do this with my router)
-sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8192ce.conf and insert the following line:
'options rtl8192ce ips=0 fwlps=0 swenc=1 debug=2'
Switched to Ubuntu 12.04 and entered the following to see if wireless works better:
echo 'options rtl8192ce swenc=1' | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8192ce.conf
sudo modprobe -rfv rtl8192ce
sudo modprobe -v rtl8192ce
