You forgot the "Reply All" again! I run openSUSE 12.1 KDE, and I use NetworkManager. I have many wifi devices, including both RTL8188CE and RTL8192CE. At the moment, I am running an RTL8188CE, which has been up for nearly 100 hours without dropping the connection, and with no problems with the keyboard. My kernel is from wireless-testing, which means that my wireless stuff is exactly what you got with compat-wireless. Larry
