There is a Ubuntu forum post here wireless disconnects periodically (RTL8191SEvB Wireless LAN Controller (rev 10)) which deals with your problem however I would try this first

rmmod r8192se_pci

then

modprobe r8192se_pci hwwep=0

if this doesn't work then reboot and everything will be back to normal if it works then you can add it as a permanent fix to /etc/modprobe.d/realtek.conf

and add this line

options r8192se_pci hwwep=0

Hope this helps

  • No problem found the fix on the Frozentux site by Oskar Andreasson here is a link to the blog post I would make a bookmark or save the details on U1 as you may have to do the same thing on 11.04 if you upgrade. I have a few things I always have to do after an Upgrade.http://www.frozentux.net/2010/12/ubuntu-10-10-r8192se_pci-driver-on-the-toshiba-satellite-t130-17e-realtek-rtl8191sevb/ – Allan Jan 26 '11 at 08:40
