I updated to ubuntu 10.10 64bit recently, and found wireless didn't work any more like it does in 32bit.

after updating r8192e_pci.ko, it works again!

It's sad that I couldn't find updated driver in realtek's official page, luckily I found one via google (thanks, johnfoshay!)

I also attached it here just in case.

here is what I did:

tar xvfz rtl8192e_linux_2.6.0014.0401.2010.tar.gz
cd rtl8192e_linux_2.6.0014.0401.2010
make
sudo cp HAL/rtl8192/r8192e_pci.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/staging/rtl8192e/
reboot

Good luck to you too!

if you use a samsung notebook, another way to fix this is adding ppa:voria/ppa and install samsung-wireless, which adds r8192e_pci_realtek.ko.

remember to block r8192e_pci.ko

actually, my wireless gets more stable in this way.
