+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;&gt; &gt; Anyway, checking commit logs between upstream 3.3.1 and 3.3.3
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;&gt; &gt; shows one commit that specifically touches the module you use...
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;&gt; &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;&gt; &gt; So can you try kernel-3.3.4-1.1.mga2 from:
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;&gt; &gt; <A HREF="http://tmb.mine.nu/Mageia/Cauldron/bugs/3.3.4-rtlwifi-revert/">http://tmb.mine.nu/Mageia/Cauldron/bugs/3.3.4-rtlwifi-revert/</A>

+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;&gt; &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;&gt; &gt; If that works, you can ping upstream that:
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;&gt; &gt; <A HREF="http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=c">http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=c</A>
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;&gt; &gt; ommit;h=eb641120479de7ee703fabb5e6ee0ec7947474ba
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;&gt; &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;&gt; &gt; broke your wireless.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; In fact with this kernel the machine is able to detect the same wifi
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; networks that sued to detect with kernel-3.3.1...
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Well that means that the commit listed above is problematic.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; You should tell the upstream folks about this as Thomas stated. Please
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; confirm when you've done this so the issue can be tracked accordingly.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> I have been discussing this with Larry Finger (one of the realtek main
+</I>&gt;<i> developers) in &quot;wireless &lt;<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">linux-wireless at vger.kernel.org</A>&gt;&quot; ML and this
+</I>&gt;<i> Larry Finger what he said:
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> &quot;That patch keeps your device from running forever at a maximum of 1
+</I>&gt;<i> Mbps by adjusting the initial gain of the RX amplifier. You may
+</I>&gt;<i> reverse it if you want so that you can detect more APs when you scan;
+</I>&gt;<i> however, most people prefer to get better performance from the device.
+</I>&gt;<i> That patch will not be reversed.&quot;
+</I>
+perhaps it can be made into a module option?
