Comment 282 for bug 401126

I know there has been a great many comments about this issue, but I'd like to throw in my voice. I have a Toshiba L555D-S7930 with the Realtek 8172 (though it shows up under Win 7 as an 8191se). I've installed the 10.04 beta 2 and am able to connect without WPA only. If I stop working for all of 5 minutes, it simply stops working and will not reconnect without having to shut down to a power off state, then reconnecting.

I've tried all the suggestions regarding compiling a driver, but on my computer it exits with error 2 during the make install. (and Yes, I've installed the sources, headers, and everything else that needs to be installed to compile the driver, and yes, I did use sudo make install.) Every time I try to compile the drivers, it gives me the error.

The very strange thing about all this is I have to turn off WPA in order to connect at all, and even then it is for a very limited time, and that is out of the box.

I've done all the updates and have had to connect to a wired network to do so. lcpci shows the same as most others here, the card is found as 8172.

Is there a setting somewhere or other drivers I must be missing??? I'm willing to try anything at this point including a reinstall, though somehow I doubt that will make a difference.

I am using the i386 version as I only have 3gig of mem to begin with. Would switching to 64bit make a difference?
