[Bug 544485] Re: Wifi broken for Toshiba Satellite M500 series with RTL 8192 (r8192se_pci driver)

[Brad Philips]

Alright!!  The blacklist of the kernel module worked..well sorta.  What
I had to do was this:

In /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf add the following under (comment is
just for docs):

# r8192se_pci is a bad/old driver (Ubuntu: #544485)
blacklist r8192se_pci

do the make/make install to install the driver.  Now, what you have to
do is rename the module so that the blacklist doesn't blacklist it too:

cd /lib/modules/'uname -r'/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
sudo mv r8192se_pci.ko r8192.ko
sudo depmod -a

On the next reboot the driver should be loaded..  :)  Now if I only get
the CIFS shutdown hang fixed, I'll have a workable system.. :)

Anyway, hope this helps some people.  This is obviously a temporary
solution until the updated driver gets in the kernel or ubuntu provides
an update to fix this..  Thanks!
