Created attachment 579928 [details] The kernel-3.3.2-1 with only an access point Description of problem: I have a HP MINI 110-3700LA with the update i have to be more close of an access point to get the net listed on NetworkManager and the problem came with the kernel-3.3.2-1.fc16.i686 must be a problem with the module rtl8192ce, is like the the wireless ratio is lower with the kernel-3.3.2-1. The Last kernel that worked fine was kernel-3.3.1-3.fc16.i686, i took some pics of this problem, and like the kernel kernel-3.3.1-3.fc16.i686 is not on repos i had to install an older kernel(3.2.1-3.fc16.i686).

From Jorge in email: > the last kernel that worked fine was 3.3.1-3.fc16.i686 FWIW, this patch was applied in between 3.3.1 and 3.3.2: commit eb641120479de7ee703fabb5e6ee0ec7947474ba Author: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger> Date: Mon Mar 26 09:59:48 2012 -0500 rtlwifi: rtl8192ce: rtl8192cu: rtl8192de: Fix low-gain setting when scanning commit 643c61e119459e9d750087b7b34be94491efebf9 upstream. In https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=770207, slowdowns of driver rtl8192ce are reported. One fix (commit a9b89e2) has already been applied, and it helped, but the maximum RX speed would still drop to 1 Mbps. As in the previous fix, the initial gain was determined to be the problem; however the problem arises from a setting of the gain when scans are started. Driver rtl8192de also has the same code structure - this one is fixed as wel Reported-and-Tested-by: Ivan Pesin <ivan.pesin> Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger> Signed-off-by: John W.

Test kernels with that patch reverted are building here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4020142 When they finish building, please give them a try and post the results here -- thanks!
sorry for the delay, i tested the kernel with patch reverted and is working very fine, i get all wireless networks and i can connect without problems. By the way, this patch reverting not affect this fix https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=770207?

Hopefully Larry will come through with a new fix that let's us keep the fix for 770207 as well...?
(In reply to comment #6) > Hopefully Larry will come through with a new fix that let's us keep the fix > for 770207 as well...? i got a solution but i dont think that it work for 770207 Dependencies: - kernel-devel or kernel-pae-devel 1) Download the source code from realtek http://218.210.127.131/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=21&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true 2) Compile the driver -- we will get 2 files rtlwifi.ko and rtl8192ce.ko 3) rename or delete this files # /lib/modules/´uname -r´/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtlwifi.ko # /lib/modules/´uname -r´/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8192ce/rtl8192ce.ko 4) copy the compiled driver to modules # cp /home/´whoami´/rtl_92ce_92se_92de_linux_mac80211_0005.1230.2011/rtlwifi.ko /lib/modules/´uname -r´/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtlwifi.ko # cp /home/´whoami´/rtl_92ce_92se_92de_linux_mac80211_0005.1230.2011/rtl8192ce/rtl8182ce.ko /lib/modules/´uname -r´/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8192ce/rtl8192ce.ko 5) restart or use insmod # reboot or # insmod rtlwifi # insmod rtl8192ce.ko This was tested on Fedora 17
John, Larry, Jorge, was this ever resolved?
