[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1239578] Re: No wireless support for Realtek RTL8192EE [10ec:818b]
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.

@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.

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.

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.

This bug is only for the initial support of this WiFi adapter, it's not working 100% well yet, please report new "not working bug" or contact upstream but not keep posting comments, thanks. Status: pull-request for trusty was NAKed because next minor Trusty release will use Utopic LTS kernel, which had already fixed this issue. please wait it or upgrade your whole distro to Utopic.
