http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Hello, i have recently just purchased a toshiba laptop with the realtek RTL8188ce WLAN network card and installed fedora 17 on it,i get problems where the network just stops working and then will become unavailable. I searched for drivers but i believe they are out of date for the current kernel i am using ( im usually using 3.3.4 because that one is able to use the network for a bit till it stops) i also have kernels 3.4.1 and 3.5.1. is there any solutions i can do in order for me to use even 3.3.4 kernel with the network card (HowTos)

I'm using Fedora 18 with the LXDE desktop.

I seem to be unable to connect to any WLAN network. The network manager applets seem to accept only WEP but no WPA encryption.

Am I missing something, or is WLAN networks on Fedora 18 broken right now?

Thanks
