[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1239578] Re: No wireless support for Realtek RTL8192EE [10ec:818b]
Larry, Thank you for your work on this wireless driver. I, however, gave up and bought an Intel 7260 dual-band for my thinkpad on ebay for $20 to stop dealing with this issue. Would it help for me to mail you, or someone else working on development, the realtek Mini PCI Express card I no longer need? -- 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.

After using the r8192ee driver in the 3.16 kernel, I found SSH sessions to be extremely unreliable. Web browsing was tolerable but slow and required occasional retries. I've now purchased a WiFi USB dongle and will test the r8192ee driver as new 3.16 kernels are released for utopic. -- 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.

I just installed 14.04.1 on my T440s. Here is how I installed the 3.16 kernel and got wifi working by adding utopic (14.10) sources to apt. BE WARNED: This may be dangerous. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add the lines: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ utopic main restricted deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ utopic-updates main restricted deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ utopic-security main restricted apt-get update apt-get install linux-generic linux-firmware DO NOT UPGRADE or DIST-UPGRADE!!! Check that you'll be installing 3.16-x before hitting Y. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and COMMENT OUT the three lines from above: #deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ utopic main restricted #deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ utopic-updates main restricted #deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ utopic-security main restricted apt-get update ^^^ THIS IS IMPORTANT TO NOT RUIN YOUR SYSTEM^^^ Reboot and enjoy wireless. Occasionally repeat the procedure above to check for kernel upgrades. -- 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.

@sochan I wish I had a different card. I would have preferred a dual band card. Also, this driver in 3.16 seems stable, I've been using it since my earlier post without any problems despite the dmesg warning: [3.751315] r8192ee: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned. -- 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.
