I tried installing the latest proprietary driver and firmware, although I had to use Freedom Ben's modified version:
https://github.com/FreedomBen/rtl8188ce-linux-driver since the code provided by Realtek doesn't even compile with any kernel after 2.9 :( Anyway, that didn't help. Continued to experience large amounts of packet loss, up to 80%. I eventually just bought a new card with good linux support for $24, and I'd suggest anyone trying to make this card work on linux just do the same. More details documented here: http://ilostmynotes.blogspot.com/2013/12/windows-8-and- ubuntu-1304-with.html As expected, the new card works perfectly: 0% loss using the same network, access point, sitting in the same position in the room etc. It's easy to blame bugs like these on RF signal problems, interference etc. but in this case the performance of the driver is just terrible. I dual boot windows and it seemed OK there, but I didn't use it extensively. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1258870 Title: rtl8188ee wireless driver unusable: 25-30% packet loss. 13.10 Saucy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-lts-saucy/+bug/1258870/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
