[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1239578] Re: No wireless support for Realtek RTL8192EE [10ec:818b]
I have a Lenovo T440p. Just a recap of my experiences. I installed from http://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git. My personal experiences: - it works ok but sometimes crashes as people have discussed requiring a hard reset - it crashes more often if I use skype or stream video - it crashes sometimes on web browser going to a new site, new DNS lookup? - If I click on NetworkManager (ubuntu) and restart the wifi it can repair itself. If I leave it then normally it will need a hard reset at somepoint. - The serious random crashes seemed to happen less after using Larry's latest rtlwifi install for me - ethernet connection is also an issue for me and takes several attempts to connect (I use e1000e driver), not sure if there is some interplay between the two drivers? Personally I have a laptop I can use but need to tred carefully... Thanks to larry for doing so much. Be great if the final core issues were found with this hardware driver. I read somewhere what BIOS version you have can make a difference. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1239578 Title: No wireless support for Realtek RTL8192EE [10ec:818b] Status in HWE Next Project: Fix Released Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “linux” source package in Trusty: Won't Fix Status in “linux” source package in Utopic: Fix Released Bug description: Open this bug to trace device driver RTL8192EE.

Just to report back larry, I'm still getting lockups which require a manual power cycle on my t440p with kernel 3.13.0-24-generic and built from your github. The crashes are certainly happening less but still happening. Sometimes more intensive network usage seems to cause one, like using skype or streaming video. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1239578 Title: No wireless support for Realtek RTL8192EE [10ec:818b] Status in HWE Next Project: Confirmed Status in HWE Next trusty series: Confirmed Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Open this bug to trace device driver RTL8192EE.

So far seem more stable Larry. I still get periods where the network connection stops for up to a minute, not sure if this is related, but no crashes today.

I updated my kernel with the latest from GitHub and it work all of today and then locked up again as before unfortunately. Is there anyway to get some debug back to you Larry?

I'm not sure its more stable yet Larry, but seems to be I think, though I have had rare days with only 1 lockup before. The only time I had a complete kernel panic and errors printed to screen as shown by my incomplete stack trace from #191 was when I had another process using all of memory and lots of swap and I then tried to use browser at same time. I see you added a new branch kernel_version with recent commits, but if I switch to that and try to compile it fails for me: In file included from /root/wifi/rtlwifi_new/regd.c:31:0: /root/wifi/rtlwifi_new/regd.c: In function ‘_rtl_reg_apply_beaconing_flags’: /root/wifi/rtlwifi_new/regd.h:34:32: error: ‘IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_IR’ undeclared (first use in this function) #define IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_IBSS IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_IR ^ /root/wifi/rtlwifi_new/regd.c:180:20: note: in expansion of macro ‘IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_IBSS’ ch-flags = ~IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_IBSS; ^ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1239578 Title: No wireless support for Realtek RTL8192EE [10ec:818b] Status in HWE Next Project: Confirmed Status in HWE Next trusty series: Confirmed Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Open this bug to trace device driver RTL8192EE.

Unfortunately I am still getting connection locks where wifi stops working and I can't reconnect and also I can't shut down. Only way is to press external power button. Also, I still get the situation where keyboard becomes unresponsive and keeps emitting a single key, and same thing I can only hard power cycle. Obviously it could be something else causing these issues.

I am using the r8192ee module compiled from source on my t440p and it works most of the time though does disconnect and fail periodically. I am using linux mint 17.
