Getting the right firmware package was a good move. :) Now did you look at http://wiki.debian.org/rtl819x ? The RTL8188CE is supported only in Wheezy, as is the rtl8192ce. Why the two different identifications I do not know. You could see what backports has to offer. You'll need a new kernel, I expect. Or you could upgrade to Wheezy from your present installation. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
