Many - if not all - of us with Realtek 8192 have the same problem. Switch to WICD to manage your networks, and delete Network Manager. It is a NM bug, not ubuntu kernel.

The one problem with...

Didn't have to. It is a well documented issue. Here is one forum

There was another replica but I've since lost the link. I keep posted...

I'm running off an older kernel now ".27" instead of ".28". So far it is doing ok. I'm hoping this is the only problem. I love linux but between the fan and the wireless not working with network...

I am unsure if this is a hardware problem or a linux problem. My machine is only 3 months old so it is not the fan. I didn't have problems until recently, and after the latest kernel update it got...

Each time I update the kernel the thinkpan fan stops working in Ubuntu. After I do updates in windows it came to work again the last two times. What is going on?

Has anyone updated to Natty yet? Is the issue fixed? I am still using WICD, but although it works, it takes a few minutes to connect on reboot. It is also kind of buggy and there are no updates...

Lenovo people can't figure this out. Can anyone confirm if this sounds like a bis issue or if Ubuntu could be causing this?

The fan is only 3 months old or so. Like I said it works with thinkfan and on windows no problem, so it has to be an ubuntu issue

I have a thinkpad and ubuntu 10.10. Everything use to work fine, but recently after a couple hours or a day my fan just stops running. I have to use thinkfan now or my laptop heats past 60C. I've...

It actually now goes up and back down but never stays in one spot... Does it have to do with my sensors being set wrong?

I installed thinkfan but when I run it the fan doesn't stop.

Here is what I have

sensor /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal (0, 0, 10 ,1, 0, 0, 10, 0, 10, 10, 5, 5, 0, 0, 0 )

Thank you, I'll look into this!

As stated - my laptop fan shuts off and will not work until restart. I just flashed my bios back to an old version as I had installed a new one recently. Any other ideas while I wait to see if this...

Thanks for the help!

Fortunately, I JUST found this thread

It worked perfectly!

Thanks for your time!

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar. If you every need a pizza when you are in Philly shoot me a message.

Hey guys-

I just got my laptop back from lenovo with a new motherboard. All of my kernels won't boot - including my recovery drives. WIndows does work which is what I am on. I tried to boot to a...

Thanks for the help everyone!

Anyway, I fixed the issue. If anyone else has the problem - which I am sure some do - the fix is a bios update. Since the problem occurred both in windows...

Hey all-

I hate when people fix something and don't tell everyone else what they did. Here is an update:

You are getting an error because you need to input, "sudo su" then your password, before you can have access to "make" anything

I have a realtek driver and have read on several forums that people have a similar issue but have yet to solve it as many have. I can connect to my wifi but after 5 minutes it disconnects and I have...
