    Code:
    sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf
    delete the nameserver lines containing 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, save, exit program, reboot

    All of these patches are not working for me on my toshiba laptop. Any more suggestions? The FreedomBen driver works worse than the original driver, drops more frequently. "[SOLVED]" in the header seems misleading. Why does the driver work fine in Windows 8.1 and not "trusty tahir"?

    I found another solution here : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1108801

    The usage is:
    git clone http://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git
    cd rtlwifi_new
    make
    sudo modprobe -rv rtl8188ee
    sudo make install
    sudo modprobe -v rtl8188ee


    It is for me what was working the best for now but i still have some issues so i'm still looking around...

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

    Hi, I had bought a new Lenovo laptop(Z50-70) which had realtek "RTL8723BE PCIe Wireless Network Adapter" (got from lshw -C network), i followed the steps mentioned over here and after that my wifi stopped working .
    I am facing serious problem as wifi itself not accessible and only through direct internet wire i am able to work. I am not even getting option to enable wifi on the top right corner after trying this solution.
    I also tried running "sudo make uninstall" and restore_backup.sh but still did not help, and i had backed up the contents under /lib/firmware/rtlwifi and tried restoring that too but still was not helpfull

    Please help me to resolve this.

    Also how this solution works for RTL8723BE adapter ?
