Get


http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2012-04-26.tar.bz2.
That is the "bleeding-edge" version. As I said in the previous
message,
it
will build on your kernel!

I didnt remove any mail address i simply forgot to hit the reply all
button.

That IS removing mail addresses.

Previously i tried to build the subdirectory rtlwifi but that wasnt
possible, so build the entry tree compat-wireless and installed it,
but the problem about having repeated chars when typing and the
mouse
freeze continues happening.

Now a different problem, i noticed that after kernel-3.3.1 it
started
appearing less wifi networks, where i used to detect about 10 wifi
networks, with kernel>      3.3.1 it only detected about 2 or 3 wifi
networks, i reported that to the distro and they said was a problem

from upstream since they didnt had changed nothing regarding wifi,
and

after i installed compat-wireless that was solved. Im running
kernel-3.3.4 with compat-wireless and it detects again about 10 wifi
networks.

Should i report this upstream so it can be fixed still in the
kkkkkernel 3.3.4 serie or you ccccccan do it?

Whatever patch that fixed that problem will be backported to 3.3.X if
it can
be. Not everything qualifies.

By the way see how the characters "k" and "c" got repeated when i
was
typing last paragraph.

I see them, but they do not happen on my machine, thus I have no idea
of the
cause. So far, you can only say that they don't happen when rtl8192ce
is not
loaded; however, you have no network then either. The problem could
be
anywhere in the network stack.

You said earlier that you tried the Ubuntu Live system. Would it be
possible
to download and try the openSUSE 12.1 Live CD as well? As you have
used
Ubunbtu, you should try the Gnome version.

These are the distros that i tried so far and all presented the same
problem i have described:
- Mandriva
- Mageia
- Ubuntu
- Kubuntu
- Caixa Magica

What wifi you have?
What distro you run?
Do you run NetworManager?

You forgot the "Reply All" again!

I run openSUSE 12.1 KDE, and I use NetworkManager.

I have many wifi devices, including both RTL8188CE and RTL8192CE. At
the moment, I am running an RTL8188CE, which has been up for nearly
100 hours without dropping the connection, and with no problems with
the keyboard. My kernel is from wireless-testing, which means that
my wireless stuff is exactly what you got with compat-wireless.

FWIW, I do recall seeing issues with my USB keyboard when testing with
rtl8192de.  I believe the problems went away when I disabled power
management:

 options rtl8192de ips=0 swlps=0 fwlps=0

in where can these settings be saved?

By the way, diddddd you were using any keyboard, mouse from microsoft?

Create a file named /etc/modprobe.d/50-rtl8192ce.conf and add the line below
to it:

options rtl8192ce ips=0 swlps=0 fwlps=0

That will disable power saving for driver rtl8192ce.

By the way when i installed compat-wireless was in kernel-3.3.1 in
which used to be detected about 10 wifi networks, so when i said that
fixed the kernel-3.3.4 i was not correct.

Now i have installed compat-wireless for kernel-3.3.4 and it did not
changed anything, i continued detecting only 2 wifi networks, like the
router antenna didnt had any force, but when i boot kernel-3.3.1 i
have again about 10 wifi networks detected, so this is a problem that
appeared from kernel-3.3.2 and continues existing upstream.
