N150 w/ 10.10 + RTL8192E only works if networking disabled

Post by daphne432 »

I running a Wubi install of 10.10 on a N150 equipped with a RTL8192E (by lshw). I added the ppa and have installed:

easy-slow-down-manager
libgudev-1.0-0
libudev0
linux-headers-2.6.35-22
linux-headers-2.6.35-22-generic
linux-image-2.6.35-22-generic
linux-libc-dev
samsung-backlight
samsung-tools
samsung-wireless
samsung-wireless-2.6.35-22
udev

I've found that I'm only able to connect if I disabled the wireless before rebooting. Upon login, I enable the wireless and it connects successfully. Otherwise, when I try to connect, it repeatedly asks for my WPA2 password. Occasionally, the wireless doesn't show a list of available networks.

I see there are a lot of links about this card online; a link to the right solution would be appreciated, or details of further diagnostic steps.

Faithfully,
Peter
