This type of laptop has got a wired hardware so that it doesn't work properly with:
1. debian wheezy: problem freeze at logon window.
2. ubuntu 12.04: freeze at logon
3. archlinux can not install
4. debian live disk. freeze at install.
5. scientific linux 6.4. the speed to eduroam is very slow. (same thing apply to debian squeeze)
I have tried many network drivers for RTL8188ce, like from official web, linuxwireless, none of them work properly. later on I found this wireless driver is working properly with wicd, however, once it is in version 1.7.0, it always show wrong password. (which I found is a bug)
it looks as if we 1. not using gnome 3, 2. using wicd 1.7.2, all the problems may solve out automatically. therefore, I dicided to use lubuntu, which uses lxde as default desktop.
however, again wicd becomes wired. after excuting
$ sudo service wicd start
it doesn't working properly. it turns out that there is another bug in wicd (wicd is really buggy!!)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wicd/+bug/1132529
to solve it out I did:
rm /etc/resolv.conf
ln -s /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf
rm /var/lib/wicd/resolv.conf.orig
ln -s /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf /var/lib/wicd/resolv.conf.orig
and removed network-manager. Now the speed working fantastically!!!
