The card worked reliably for me on windows 8. I solved my problem by buying
a new laptop with an Intel card and giving the old laptop to my
mother-in-law to use for windows.

Ah, sorry. I swapped this card for an Intel one years ago. I had never
tried the Realtek card on windows either.

Thanks anyway for following up,

Good evening

I am an owner of a T440 with a rtl card. I had to wait a long time for
Wifi as a simple user. I was a listener to your blog. With your
publication how to install I have now a working cableless internet
connection, stable.
I wish to express you my thanks.

kind regards

 That said, from the driver's standpoint, it is just passing packets and
 should not care how the AP is getting its authentication. If you are
 able to capture the over-the-air packets during the authentication
 process, or detailed logs from the AP or authentication server, then we
 might be able to find out what is going wrong

Ok, I'm giving the kernel 3.19 a try. Here is a list of the steps I'm
following according to the information gathered in this thread. Please
tell me if I'm missing something:
  - Install the kernel 3.19 from
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.19-rc7-vivid/
  - Clone the GIT repository: git clone
https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git
  - Compile and install the drivers: make  sudo make install
  - Blacklist the r8192ee module

Any remarks?

Thanks.

Hi,


Le 11/12/2014 23:06, K Xu a écrit :
 I am using a version of this driver I got from Larry Finger, but it seems
 to be buggy as my internet often drops. I am using it on a T440s on Ubuntu
 12.04.

 Should I update to Trusty, expecting to help solve this issue?

I have used Ubuntu 14.04 without success, because the driver wasn't 
integrated in it kernel version (3.14).

I am now on Ubuntu 14.10 since october (today with the last main kernel, 
3.16.0-28). I am able to see the wifi networks, so better than with 
14.04, but steel unable to connect.

I don't know if this Ubuntu kernel integrates the last revision of RTL 
8192EE driver.

Regards,

Giles Carré

 This comes directly from the Realtek tarball, filename:

 I mushed the three modules (btcoexist, rtlwifi and rtl8821ae) together
 into one, in order to make it all build as one stand-alone module.
 After the btcoexist driver gets merged upstream, I'll pull it out of
 here, and will continue to work on removing this version of rtlwifi in
 order to use the in-kernel one.

Hi Larry/Varunendra,

As the other member was mentioning, I see same behavior in my Laptop too.
If I reboot the system once, first time I can see that it connects to the
Wifi network - but browsing internet fails. It briefly stays in connected
state for few mins and then disconnects. I see same message like
Authentication time out afterwards. It never connects again.

I am seeing the same behavior on various kernels I tried 3.15, 3.16 and now
on 3.17 latest. I am not sure what might be the problem - but I am very
sure about the Wifi credentials - as I work on my personal laptop which is
E430 on the same network without any interruptions.

Hi Larry,

I am using 3.17 latest Kernel from rupotic. I am ready to use 3.18 kernel
but don't know really how to build it from source code. I will give it a
try sometime and let you know the status.

But I am not sure why the authentication times out after first successful
connect to Wifi. Anyway I am very thankful to your contribution here.

 See Comment #204 to see why I cannot fix that problem.

Hi Larry,

Thanks for a detailed post with your findings. We understand your
frustration here. But I have a strange issue in my L440 which has R8192EE
Wifi Adapter and 3.17.0-031700rc6_3.17.0-031700rc6.201409211935 kernel
which is the latest available kernel. I installed this kernel few days back
and tried with new driver from github repo. I don't find any errors in the
new kernel make log (as you were mentioning in the above post - which I saw
in default 3.13 kernel). But after installing this kernel and new driver, I
am still not able to connect to Wifi networks - It tries several times and
fails to connect. I can see following messages repeatedly on dmesg while it
tries connecting.

[   41.078474] wlan0: authenticate with b0:a8:6e:40:38:02

Do you or anybody facing similar issue? If yes, can you please help me out

here. I already feeling like I chose a wrong OS Ubuntu.

For curiosity I have one more question - Does this new hardware RTL8192
works on older version of Ubuntu or any other Linux distro (probably
desktop/lite version) for that matter? Which one you safely bet? I am ready
to migrate to any other version of Linux which can fix this issue for ever

 In kernel 3.14, the authors of mac80211 changed the API (applications

 intercept a certain kind of error. For those drivers that could not fit
 the new model, which includes the Realtek codes, they created a new
 entry point that used the old method. It was named
 _ieee80211_is_robust_mgmt_frame(), i.e. it has an underscore. For out-
 of-kernel drivers such as those in the rtlwifi_new repo, there must be
 code that determines at compile time which API needs to be used. Such
 code is in these drivers. If the kernel version is 3.14 or newer, use
 the underscored version. If older use the one without.

 Why does it fail here? The reason is that Ubuntu applied the API change
 to their 3.13 kernels! Now the decision gets harder. If the kernel is
 3.14, or if this is Ubuntu with version 3.13.11 + some unknown patch
 level, use the new API. That gets quite difficult; however, if I take
 the simple step of having all 3.13 versions use the new API, then I
 break every user of 3.13 that does not run Ubuntu. I refuse to do that
 for the following reason. Ubuntu should not have changed the API in mid
 3.13!! In doing so, they make this kind of problem for everyone trying
 to provide out-of-kernel drivers. For me to fix the problem for Ubuntu
 users by breaking every other distro's users would be effectively to
 reward Ubuntu for what I consider to be their bad behavior.

 How do I know this is the problem. First of all, the make log that was
 posted shows warning: passing argument 1 of
 ‘ieee80211_is_robust_mgmt_frame’ from incompatible pointer type [enabled
 by default].  It is true that warnings can usually be ignored; however,
 when arguments have an incompatible pointer type, the end result will
 usually be a kernel crash. When that warning occurs for a routine that
 has changed API, it really sticks out. Secondly, I see this change in
 Ubuntu's 3.11.0-36 patch file.

 What can Ubuntu users do? To my thinking, switching to a 3.14 or newer
 kernel would be best. If you really want to stay with Ubuntu's 3.13.0-36
 kernel, then run the following command in the rtlwifi_new directory:

 sed -i

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.

Larry - just to confirm, simply doing the standard make/make install that
you mentioned previously here should correctly utilize that github code?
There's nothing more to be done?

Because I haven't found that particularly effective. I still can't get
reliable connections.

 Thank you Larry for posting the latest driver code. I am no where close
 to the expertise most people have on this forum. This is may well be a
 beginner question. Do I just git clone your repo, do make, make
 install and then reboot?

You are close. Building code should always be done as a regular user, not as
root. Thus the correct commands are make and sudo make install.

As far as I know installing the card is a PITA. Otherwise I would have done
that already. But, if it isn't too taxing (taking the motherboard out or
taking apart the screen would be too taxing), I would love to know.

 I realized that I probably picked the wrong card when ordering my laptop.
 I was offered either the Intel Wireless N 7260 or this Realtek card, same
 price
 I am not so keen with this realtek card anyway because even in windows 7
 my signal only shows 3 bars sometimes as my previous laptop it's 5 bar
 all-the-time
 Instead of buying a usb dongle and wait for the driver I was considering
 to just buy the intel card for $20 and swap it in
 Some of you guys may consider this option as the other card is certified
 by ubuntu and I assume it has the driver built-in? Can anyone with the
 T440/540 with the Intel card confirm that?

 Thanks,

Sadly, the T440s does not have any panels at the bottom. I bought the
laptop and was very excited to have a nice Thinkpad with all the power I
needed, but have been disappointed with the thoroughly awful trackpad and
this Realtek wireless card's issues on Linux.

2014-07-31 Thread Matt
I went back and looked and it's clear the bottom comes off entirely. I had
an old X60 that served me extremely well and it had a slot for removing the
harddrive and a little panel with the RAM exposed right below it... I was
hoping for a little panel to expose it as opposed to needing a spudger to
pull the damn whole bottom off.

But I've done it before the replace the HDD, and it isn't very hard. For my
model, I found this service guide by Lenovo:
http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/t440s_hmm_en_sp40a25360_03.pdf

One thing I did notice when looking at replacement cards was the issue with
the motherboard whitelist -- is the card listed earlier in this thread good
for our machines?

 Matt,
 Really sorry to hear that. I googled T440s bottom pictures and I see
 almost all of them have services panels? It's maybe not teh model but what
 particular chassis you get? Have you tried the sides? There should be at
 least a way to swap the hard drive out without taking the whole thing apart?
