[ubuntu] HP Pavillion wireless issues - RTL8188ce

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hey, I have the rtl8188ce wireless card in a HP Pavilion g4-1215dx. Currently it is dropping links and still acting as though the wireless link is up & it is refusing to connect to some but not all wireless networks. In the same vein, it won't pull an IP address when it attempts to connect to a hotspot my phone makes, even though it is less than a foot from my phone. Nothing seems to help this, although other laptops running the same exact version of ubuntu, 12.04 x64 can connect without issue. I've tried using wicd & have downloaded the drivers off realtek's website, compiled them &a (Hardware)

Ok, so I installed BT R3 next to windows 7 on my Toshiba C855 s5214 laptop. When I start Wicd it recognizes and connects to my network and the wireless light is on. Whenever I open up a web browser the internet stops working, the wireless light remains on, and Wicd cannot find any networks until I reboot and am thus forced to repeat the process. My wireless card is a Realtek RTL8188CE.

Hi everyone, I know this is an old post but I have exactly this problem. my card is the same rtl8188ce and it´s unable to connect. I have tried with Wicd and nothing, please help¡¡¡

I'm on a 2011 Lenovo Thinkpad T420i with a Realtek RTL8188CE WiFi adapter. Here's the scenario:

I am familiar with BT, been using it since BT3. The problem I have is with 5r3, when I use wicd to connect to the internet. I have BT installed in dual-boot with Windows 7, not in a virtual machine. My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite L875D, and the wireless chipset is the RTL8188CE, which I need to use the 8185 drivers.

My wireless card can see networks, and when I try to connect to one, it starts the spinning icon, like it's trying, but then, after a few spins, it stops trying, giving no messages or errors.

Are there any logs I can check? I'm not sure how to diagnose and fix this issue.

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook, with a USB plugin RT5370 wireless card.

So I just installed Ubuntu 11.10 on my HP Pavillion DV6000 and my wireless will not connect. I been searching all over the Internet for answers so this is my last resort. Nobody can quite figure it out I've heard to get online and do updates cause i dont have a wired connection.

It reads my wireless and ask for passphase and then just cant connect.

dhcp with wicd on sid 29 weeks 1 day ago

I completed a Wheezy netinstall on my netbook (Atheros wireless) and then mvoed to sid. I am using wicd to connect to networks. The Atheros wireless works well with Debian.At a public hotspot, wicd cannot obtain an IP address. I have tried the automatic setting, the dhcpd setting and the dhclient setting many times.What seems to work is connecting by wireless to my Android device as a hotspot.
