I have a ThinkPad T450s that drop out of a wifi connexion after few seconds. Sometimes, I can't even connect to the network. I know it must be a driver issue, but the stuff I found online is about other Realtek drivers, I would appreciate if someone could give me some direction.

I'm running Ubuntu 14.10
The wireless driver is "RTL8192EE"
Driver version : "3.16.0-33-generic"

Let me know if you want the output of come commands...

I believe the driver you compiled is rtl8192ee, please confirm in the terminal command:

lsmod

I suggest you try a driver parameter. Again, from a terminal:

sudo -i
echo "options rtl8192ee swenc=1"  >  /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8192ee.conf
exit

Reboot and tell us if stability is improved.

  • Is it something you compiled? It is included in 14.10: /lib/modules/3.16.0-33-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/rtl8192ee/r8192ee.ko

  • Yes I compiled a backport driver, was one of the things I tried. I booted on a live version of 14.10 and I can confirm that r8192ee is the native on. What do you suggest ?
