I found that this did not work, even with the fixed package, like the commenter in comment #7. I did manage to get it working: I noticed that my LANGUAGE environment variable had en in it twice, e.g.: LANAGUAGE=ennewlineen. I thought that was a bit odd. This was only present when I logged in via

The 3.2 kernel from comment #28 seems to be working a lot better. My wireless connects on log-in without any issues, and seems stable for 8+ hours. I've rebooted a few times over the past 2 days, and the wireless works without issues. I downloaded the 3.2 kernerl from the link in comment #28, and

It looks like my patch in comment #26 may make things worse. After further testing, it seems that the driver works less frequently with the patch. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/708712

I've attached a patch which changes some of the time-outs for enabling the CPU and uploading firmware to the wireless adapter. This seems to make things better on my N150, but doesn't 100% resolve the problem. I've added more debug to the driver as well. Maybe that will help track down the issue.

This problem is affecting my N150 too. Rather than rebooting, I can get the wireless working by removing and reinserting the driver until it can connect. Run the following as root: modprobe -r r8192e_pci; modprobe r8192e_pci If it doesn't connect, check the network status in the bar at the top

Did you upgrade from a previous version of Ubuntu to 11.10? I also found that the Launcher would not show when I'm running things like Firefox and Thunderbird, which run full screen. I seem to have fixed the problem like this: (1) Install the compiz settings manager (as root) from a terminal:
