Yes sir you may .....i can run some or same codes to my laptop which i just connected in case you need a control, this ubuntu diagnose might as well be a scientific research

mar@mar-Vostro-200:~$ lsmod | grep 819

# ugly and loud noise, getting on everyone's nerves; this should be done by a
# nice pulseaudio bing (Ubuntu: #77010)
blacklist pcspkr

# EDAC driver for amd76x clashes with the agp driver preventing the aperture
# from being initialised (Ubuntu: #297750). Blacklist so that the driver
# continues to build and is installable for the few cases where its
# really needed.
blacklist amd76x_edac
blacklist rtl8192cu

umm did you at some point(around p.3 of the thread) echo "modprobe rtl8192cu" to your /etc/rc.local file? maybe that's why we are seeing load attempts despite the blacklist

Yes, and it worked. But when i started or booted the computer i get black screen with white letters and i have to unplug and boot then when i plug back in same issues. But sometimes it it did not do that on boot only when plugged back in. That is why i got 12.04 LTS start clean fresh and redownloaded the driver by following same instructions.

So many codes and things i have done i dont even remember so i dont know if any of codes delted or added or anything, really.

i went back and redid all...to se how i got to where i am ....

here is how that folder looks like....let me know if it correct or something is wrong....

#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

modprobe rtl8192cu
echo "0b05 17ab" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rtl8192cu/new_id

exit 0

I would comment out those 2 lines (at least while we're debugging) and reboot - but let's see what chili555 has to say about that

# modprobe rtl8192cu
# echo "0b05 17ab" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rtl8192cu/new_id

i did that and turned all blue and rebooted but still the same no change.

I had came across something, look this up shouldnt i have Encryption key : xxxxxxxx Security mode : restricted or open or whatever below the line retry off? I am just curious....

not necessarily I don't think - here is mine (this is also an N13 but it is the other variant with the Ralink chipset)

You will get more detailed info including the encryption mode from nm-tool or nmcli:

nmcli dev wifi list

I don't really know what to suggest here (apart from waiting for chili or one of the other wireless gurus to step back in). It wouldn't hurt to reinstall nm since we didn't do that after purging wicd

sudo apt-get install --reinstall network-manager

At some point we could also try creating the connection via /etc/network/interfaces (i.e. the older networking service instead of network-manager)

Never mind my last post i checked on another laptop and the laptop is the same code but somethings are not matching up and i was thinking if anything suspicious.....

Unfortunately, we have tried everything I know to try unsuccessfully...except one. Here is the salient part of a long thread where the poster and i went through the same agony as you and only got it working with ndiswrapper: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...=8192cu&page=5

If yours is a 32-bit system, you can use the files I attached there.

arch <--32-bit returns 'i686'

If you need 64-bit, post back.

had came across something, look this up shouldnt i have Encryption key : xxxxxxxx Security mode : restricted or open or whatever below the line retry off? I am just curious....

Those details are not revealed to ordinary users; sudo iwconfig won't tell, either, under NM.
