I have a thinkpad wired into a wifi bridge. Since it almost never moves nowadays, it's a pert-near ideal setup and sure beats the naff kernel support for the thing's internal rtl8192se chipset.
Ah, interesting. I barely move my Thinkpad, too, so it's not that big of a deal, but it's very sad all the situation. Someone mentioned here a github user was maintaining a driver for the card he was using, so I decided to check out if someone had a patched version of the Realtek I have on my computer, and it seems that there is: https://github.com/FreedomBen/rtl8188ce-linux-driver
