Public bug reported: have to manually rmmod and modprobe rtl8821ae
no messages in dmesg or any logile I can find Even when connected system drops ~1% of packets. Usable but not ideal in 4.10.0-21 I could use https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new which significantly reduced errors (from once in 5 minutes to once in 5 hours, more or less), but on 4.10.0-22 when trying to add the module to the kernel dmesg reports Jun 13 21:45:31 unacceptableBehaviour kernel: [ 262.904550] rtl8821ae: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.
