My Samsung N220 has a RTL8192E wifi chip. The windows 7 driver works fine, but
I think the Linux driver is in staging. Does anyone know how to find out if
there is work being done on this driver or who is doing it? Flaky in Ubuntu.


lspci -nn shows:

?05:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. ?RTL8192E
?Wireless LAN Controller [10ec:8192] (rev 01)

I have Ubuntu 10.10 (32-bit) running on my Toshiba laptop which has a
"similar" wlan card which works fine with the stock driver that comes
with Ubuntu:

lspci -nn | grep 819
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
RTL8191SEvB Wireless LAN Controller [10ec:8172] (rev 10)

lsmod | grep 819
r8192se_pci           469517  0
cfg80211              144470  1 r8192se_pci

The module is actually showing 8192 so I guess it controls both the
wlan chipsets.

We did, however, experience a lot of issues with the same driver on
the 64-bit version of Ubuntu 10.10.

What Ubuntu version are you trying?
