We'll be deploying 1.43 to ShoutWiki sites this weekend. Staff will be working all weekend to deal with any unforeseen bugs that crop up.
CreateWiki will not be available immediately after the upgrade; however, we expect the rewrite to be completed during this release cycle.

Overview
"1244-00000775-50Z_ES" (or something) is silkscreened on the board in the FCC photos.
- OEM: Edimax EW-7622PIn
Linux driver
The PCIe wireless card bases on the Realtek RTL8188CE (1x1x1 ?) chipset.
- This chipset is supported by the Linux kernel since version 2.6.38-2
- and recognized by the kernel in the following way:
lspci
03:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter (rev 01) [10ec:8178] Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device [1043:84b6]
The PCE-N15 is controlled by the kernel module rtl8192ce
- This drivers is loaded automatically by the kernel:
rtl8192ce 0000:02:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18 rtl8192ce 0000:02:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 rtl8192ce: Using firmware rtlwifi/rtl8192cfw.bin ieee80211 phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'rtl_rc' rtlwifi: wireless switch is on
Furthermore, Realtek provides the kernel module for download at their homepage.
- To compile this driver under Ubuntu the following packages have
- to be installed first: linux-headers-generic and build-essential.
- Afterwards, the driver can be unpacked and compiled:
sudo su make clean make make install
Unfortunately, the quality of the Linux driver seems to be low and several Linux user experience
- disconnctions and other problems with the WiFi card or the RTL8188CE chipset.
As a remedy it is suggested to deactivate the hardware encryption of the card.
- In this case, the module has to be loaded by the kernel with additional
- options, which can be given in the file /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8192ce.conf:
/etc/modprobe.d/rtl8192ce.conf options rtl8192ce ips=0 fwlps=0 swenc=1
