[Bug 530275] Re: [LUCID] EEEPC-1201N missing RTL8192SE module required for wifi card

[Daniel Caleb]

I can confirm this is still an issue. I'm running this on a 1201N Asus
eeePC. I have lbm-wireless 2.6.32-19 installed as well.

$ uname -r

Here's the interesting part... it looks like everything is okay. It associates with the network and gets an IP address, however I am unable to ping any hosts on the network.
