Bug#745462: linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64: rtl8192ce driver crashes
Package: linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64
Version: 3.2.57-2
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Attempting to use wireless with the rtl8192ce driver in 3.2.57-1 and 3.2.57-2
on my amd64 laptop crashes with a kernel oops. Unfortunately I could transcribe
only the top part of the call stack before my laptop screen blanked:

rtl8192ce in 3.2.54-2 and earlier works fine. (Yes, I was getting 3.2.57-1 and
3.2.57-2 from wheezy-proposed-updates.)
