    Re: 14.04 - realtek wireless bad, ralink wireless usb far better - why?

    Another small update; don't run this install/configure process twice!!! Something got screwed up in my system, and I got the impression that it had "killed" this driver, so I ran all the make commands again. That totally trashed my machine which now crashes on boot up No biggie, but just FYI, at least at the present time, the instructions are not safe to run twice; or not in all circumstances, at least

    Re: 14.04 - realtek wireless bad, ralink wireless usb far better - why?

    I'm having the same problems and I followed the steps in the second post. It seemed promising until I rebooted my computer and then the wireless adapter wasn't being picked up by the computer at all. So I went from unstable Internet to no Internet at all. Has anyone encountered a similar problem?

    Uninstall it via
    Code:
    make clean
    make
    sudo make uninstall
    Reboot and check:
    Code:
    lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net
    lsmod
    iwconfig
    rfkill list
    sudo iwlist scan

    Reboot.
    If my Realtek chipset won't hold a connection or a flaky connection, do you suggest getting a USB network adapter or do you think once Ubuntu is installed, I'll have enough time to do these steps? I see the comments that these steps worked for others but they didn't state whether they did this while using the Realtek chipset or did they use another network adapter to do this?

    Re: 14.04 - realtek wireless bad, ralink wireless usb far better - why?

    Hi,

    unfortunately none of these and similar suggestions to solve the instability issue with the wifi worked on my
    new laptop.

    Make and model are HP 15-r018dx, with a Realtek RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI-E etherner controller and the
    infamous Realtek RTL8188EE Wireless Network Adapter.

    I attach wireless-info.txt, generated with wireless_script
    (
    HTML Code:

    )
    at the bottom.

    I have tried the solutions from each of these threads:

    viz download driver sources, build, install, configure.

    I have tried both these two versions of the drivers:
    https://github.com/FreedomBen/rtl8188ce-linux-driver,
    rtl_92ce_92se_92de_8723ae_88ee_linux_mac80211_0012 .0207.2013_patched
    and also the backport modules for 3.11

    Under kernels 3.13.0 and 3.14.1 (both) I could compile, build and configure each time, no problem.
    Verified the new drivers, tried them out. Cleaned the buid each time, restored old drivers, rebooted,
    tried again.

    The instability of the wireless adapter has remained quite the same, the wireless unusable, no
    download possible whatsoever. Speed isn't even the issue for me.

    Is there at all a fix for this? If anyone can help with further ideas or suggestions I'd be very grateful.

    Re: 14.04 - realtek wireless bad, ralink wireless usb far better - why?

    Just to add, to avoid doubts, that in Windows7/8 the wireless adapter works just fine (streaming hd films etc),
    on the same connection.
    Cheers

    There are no nameservers in your /etc/resolv.conf:
    Code:
    echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8\nnameserver 8.8.4.4" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf
    sudo service network-manager restart

    good grief how did that happen?... Thank you "praseodym". That seems to be it from me. Connection over wireless now works OK. Cheers! Thomas

    Re: 14.04 - realtek wireless bad, ralink wireless usb far better - why?

    For the love of God, please tell me how to undo this nightmare. Followed code to the letter, and now I can't do anything -- kernel panic. I am on AMD64. Fortunately I can roll back to the older Kernel version that came with the install.

    But a Kernel Panic is a nightmare.

    Please anyone contemplating this instruction: DON'T.

    Please tell me how to roll this nightmare back. I'll take flaky realtek modules over kernel panic and a non functioning computer any day.
