Hi Christopher,
Here's the list of versions I decided to test:
--- 3.4.17-030417-generic (quantal)
--- 3.6.3-030603-generic  (quantal)
--- 3.6.5-030605-generic (raring)
--- 3.2.33-030233-generic-pae (precise)
All of the above EXCEPT 3.2.33 seem to have the fix.  The latter does not 
recover on resume, locks up system when rtl driver is reloaded. The logs get 
flooded with the message:
rtl8192c_common: Loading firmware file rtlwifi/rtl8192cfw.bin


As for the NON-precise kernels, the wireless recovers on resume (with both 
English or Russian default Languages). No lock-ups whatsoever when rtlwifi is 
being reloaded.

I cloned the kernel.org git tree to grep through the commits related to this 
issue. rtlwifi  appears to be fixed  recently :

rtlwifi: rtl8192ce: Log message that B_CUT device may not work
-----------------

And some more in August. I am not sure which of the commits tackle our
issue, however, 3.2 branch must have not incorporated the fix.

I did not try any of the End of Life branches, nor any of the earlier
ones than the branches above.

Let me know if there is anything else I can do here.

Thanks
