Hey  everyone there,> http://wiki.debian.org/rtl819x

My laptopn ships with a realtek 8188ce chipset.But It often disconnects
from my  wireless router. I'm not sure whether it's the problem of
hardware(chipset) or the driver and firmware in Debian Sid. I did
reference this page** http://wiki.debian.org/rtl819x **. And it did can
connect to my router. The problem is it often disconnect from my router.

Was the wifi driver working stable before and stopped from doing (e.g.,
after an update) it or have you been always getting reconnects?

Nope, it always behaves like this. I bought this laptop 2 months ago .
It sometimes
reconnects to my router, sometimes I have to reconnect manually.

I was wondering someone use  rtl8188ce fine with driver(in Debian from
Kernel) and firmware(in  Debian from Realtek). If it's not the  problem
of driver and firmware, I should go replace another realtek 8188ce
chipset.

What kernel module are you loading ("lsmod | grep -i rtl")?

rtl8192ce, it seems fine.
$ lsmod | grep -i rtl
rtl8192ce 60694 0
rtlwifi 81350 1 rtl8192ce
rtl8192c_common 52602 1 rtl8192ce
mac80211 192768 3 rtl8192c_common,rtlwifi,rtl8192ce
cfg80211 137140 2 mac80211,rtlwifi
usbcore 128498 8
ehci_hcd,usbhid,uas,usb_storage,ums_realtek,rtlwifi,uvcvideo

As you're on sid, you'll be running one of the latests kernels (3.2?) but
you can also try to compile kernel 3.3 (or even 3.4) available from
upstream sources to check if you get any improvement.

I'm using 3.2.0-2-amd64 kernel.
hmm, I have Funtoo current installed in the same laptop, which use
kernel 3.2 and 3.3. Same problem.
One weird problem is If I don't use it in several minutes, it
disconnects from my router,and no longer reconnects an more.


Also, there's a open bug report for the firmware blob (rtl8192cufw.bin),
is that the same file you're using? "dmesg | grep -i rtl" will tell:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=661860

it seems not what I'm using .
$ dmesg | grep rtl

Whole dmesg is here * https://gist.github.com/2356047 *.
Thanks !
