| Debian, and specifically LMDE with it's "rolling release" principal, updates often. The system is taking charge of looking at possible updates in the background and signals whenever there is one (or many) available. Keep an eye on the "shield" icon on the main panel. If it shows you an exclamation point, click on it to manage your updates... Simple as that. | Debian, and specifically LMDE with it's "rolling release" principal, updates often.

| + | |||
| + | to my surprise, digging our Google friend for info about this RTL8188CE, I found out that "the source for the rtl8188ce, as well as rtl8192ce, are included in the 2.6.38 kernel... Huh ? | ||
