Thanks. The data is a little incomplete as some of the wireless frames
don't seem to be passed up from the driver, but what I do see (excessive
amounts of frame retransmissions) seems to indicate that your wireless
adapter has difficulty communicating with the APs. The problems
themselves are probably at the RF or firmware level, but they might be
caused by suboptimal configuration of the driver.

Unfortunately the Realtek wireless drivers are community supported, and
as far as I know there's no publicly available documentation. There's a
couple of things we can try though.

The easiest is to test the recent 3.14-rc1 kernel to see if any issues
have been fixed there. There's a build available at
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.14-rc1-trusty/.

The other option is to try the out-of-tree driver from Realtek to see if
it performs any better. This driver is available at
http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=48&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true
(you need the driver for RTL8188CE).

If either of these give you better results we can try to work out what
needs to be changed.
