Hi All, Thanks for the helpful ideas. That website (mentioned by Daniel Jitnah) said ...
As a remedy it is suggested to deactivate the hardware encryption of the card.
Hmm. The User Manual that came on the CD with the wifi cards suggest using the included (MSWin) ASUS Control Centre program to configure the card. There are some things about disabling encryption, and I will have to "study up" a bit to figure out what I'm actually doing. But I suspect that would only have effect while running Windows, and not toggle a persistent setting in the WiFi card's firmware. So I suppose I should look for corresponding network card control settings in the bog-standard utils that come with Linux. Right? In this case, the module has to be loaded by the kernel with additional options, which can be given in the file /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8192ce.conf:
/etc/modprobe.d/rtl8192ce.conf 1
options rtl8192ce ips=0 fwlps=0 swenc=1
I can look for that file and edit those changes. (Am on a different system right now.) Any comments on the above? THANKS. Carl On 04/09/14 22:20, Daniel J Jitnah wrote:
Hi Carl,
Have you tried the Ubuntu or Mint Live CD or LIve USB?
Your wifi card has Linux issues. See: http://www.linux-hardware-guide.com/2012-11-04-asus-pce-n15-pcie-802-11n-300....
I suggest you take it out, try a USB wifi dongle and see how that goes.
Cheers Daniel.
