Add known issue wifi with a Samsung R680 laptop (with workarouund)
Originally created by @emmapeel on #10773 (Redmine)
reported by user (not confirmed by me):
The wireless card of the Samsung R680 will not work under Tails or Debian.
The workaround is to set the options of the module as this:
sudo modprobe -r rtl8192se ; sudo modprobe rtl8192se swenc=1 ips=0
(the RTL cards have problems for many users)
I can see in the log a lot of:
[ 605.390244] rtl819xE:No more TX desc@7, ring->idx = 0, idx = 1, skblen = 0x18 queuelen=1
and
