Dave, Lwfinger is Larry Finger, the maintainer of the rtl8821ae driver
already in Ubuntu 16.04. When you used his GitHub driver, you had
undone a change by Realtek, and that's why it worked. The Realtek
change was 40b368af4b75 ("rtlwifi: Fix alignment issues") and caused the
connection loss.
Larry Finger and I have worked on the connection loss in the past few
weeks. Linux kernel v4.14 when it is released should contain a fix
b8b8b16352cd ("rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: Fix connection lost problem"). But
there's nothing wrong with continuing with the GitHub driver if it is
working fine for you.
Martin, package linux-firmware-1.168 and earlier versions have the
rtl8821ae firmware for the wireless network adapter. So I don't think
this bug should "affects" linux-firmware or linux-firmware-nonfree.
