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.
