I have build and installed the Realtek driver (92ce_se_de_linux_mac80211_0005.1230.2011.tar.gz) and im getting *11* wifi networks against *3* wifi networks detected if using the driver from latest kernel (version 3.3.5). I know what Larry said but the differences are obvious and many, so the fix that was commited in rtl8192ce maybe needs to be reviewed, will someone listen please? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
