Get
http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2012-04-26.tar.bz2.
That is the "bleeding-edge" version. As I said in the previous message, it will
build on your kernel!

That IS removing mail addresses.

Whatever patch that fixed that problem will be backported to 3.3.X if it can be.
Not everything qualifies.

I see them, but they do not happen on my machine, thus I have no idea of the
cause. So far, you can only say that they don't happen when rtl8192ce is not
loaded; however, you have no network then either. The problem could be anywhere
in the network stack.
You said earlier that you tried the Ubuntu Live system. Would it be possible to
download and try the openSUSE 12.1 Live CD as well? As you have used Ubunbtu,
you should try the Gnome version.

I didnt remove any mail address i simply forgot to hit the reply all button.
Previously i tried to build the subdirectory rtlwifi but that wasnt
possible, so build the entry tree compat-wireless and installed it,
but the problem about having repeated chars when typing and the mouse
freeze continues happening.
Now a different problem, i noticed that after kernel-3.3.1 it started
appearing less wifi networks, where i used to detect about 10 wifi
networks, with kernel > 3.3.1 it only detected about 2 or 3 wifi
networks, i reported that to the distro and they said was a problem
from upstream since they didnt had changed nothing regarding wifi, and
after i installed compat-wireless that was solved. Im running
kernel-3.3.4 with compat-wireless and it detects again about 10 wifi
networks.
Should i report this upstream so it can be fixed still in the
kkkkkernel 3.3.4 serie or you ccccccan do it?
By the way see how the characters "k" and "c" got repeated when i was
typing last paragraph.
