Hi,

...

Works for me! :)

Same here.

Good for you. :-)

...

All you have is an issue with a non-Intel wifi chip?

Good to have that clarified, as I was mistaken about that the Realtek wifi was somehow part of the Intel SOC. (I *am* a newbie, after all.) The issue was taken to linux-wireless by now and hopefully will see some progress there.

...

What else is wrong?

As the on-board wifi didn't work, there is now a USB wifi stick in the netbook. That stick (rtl8188cus) works fine on other devices, including RPi. But on this netbook, a wifi connection is lost for unknown reasons after a while and I have to reconnect to the network. No idea what is causing this, the logs were inconclusive on this.

I always use latest kernel. The problem is third party devices like WiFi, touchpad etc. As GKH suggested enter bugs, if the problem is in Intel SoC, we always address.

Thanks. I'll try to report bugs to the proper channels in the future. Kind regards & keep up the good work, Hanno
