I have recently done a complete rewrite on the gain control code in rtl8192c. The primary reason for this was to implove the connectivity in rtl8192cu, but the new code also impacts rtl8192ce. At the moment, I am testing a 10ec:8178 RTL8192CE device with good results (RX throughput up to 65 Mbps). The next card to test will be an RTL8188CE.

These patches will be submitted with a notation that they be backported to stable kernels; however, I have no idea how long it will take for them to hit the stable kernel versions, and then to get into the Ubuntu kernels.
