driuli · Post by **driuli** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 10:54 pm

I have a toshiba c55-a5300.

Now in 17, I can see the networks, but it does not connect to any om them.
In Mint 16, the network was working perfect.

I have realtek rtl8188ee

Thanks

Try to connect again and after it times out

Code: Select all

dmesg | tail

Did it work when you used the Live DVD/USB to install?

I have same issue but have a an intel card (Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02) card.)

worked flawlessly in Mint16; in Mint 17 I can see all wireless networks but after I put in the password it does not authenticate (I know its the right password as I re-installed 16 and connected flawlessly again)

It might work, seems to have some code fixes for rtl8188ee

If it doesn't

wget -N -t 5 -T 10 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/57264241/wireless_script && chmod +x wireless_script && ./wireless_script

Does your wifi router have the option for wpa2/aes?

except use

sudo make

If that don't work, it might take installing a newer kernel(3.14.1) to fix

teslasparks · Post by **teslasparks** » Sat Jun 21, 2014 2:14 pm

I have same situation. I tried compiling the driver you did and got the same compile error. I finally installed a 3.14 kernel and the driver works better. I used this link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2218962
Post 7 has the instructions. If you copy and paste the commands they will not work directly because an embedded space is missing. IOW, you have to add a space between wget and kernel. Ironically, the driver we tried to compile will compile error free when using the 3.14 headers but then, we don't need it because the supplied driver works. I don't like the idea of being out of step with the repositories but I was in a bad mood and just was ready to try anything.

Go to https://github.com/FreedomBen to get more info on the driver. I think we needed to use an older branch to compile under 3.13. Also go over the readme. There is some good info there. I tried increasing my wifi's transmit power but it didn't work. This chipset is a real pain.

From the looks of the filenames and descriptions on the freedomben site, the 3.14.5 kernel might be the one to try, with the files here http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/ma ... .5-utopic/
If you have a 64 bit install, you would need
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/ma ... 35_all.deb
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/ma ... _amd64.deb
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/ma ... _amd64.deb

if you wanted to download them from terminal

Code: Select all

wget kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.14.5-utopic/linux-headers-3.14.5-031405_3.14.5-031405.201405311735_all.deb

And to install

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-3.14*.deb linux-image-3.14*.deb

Almost forgot this part

Code: Select all

I installed a fresh linux mint 17. The only 2 things I did are:

1.
update mint from 4.6.2 to 4.6.7

2.
wget kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.14.5-utopic/linux-headers-3.14.5-031405_3.14.5-031405.201405311735_all.deb

wget kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.14.5-utopic/linux-headers-3.14.5-031405-generic_3.14.5-031405.201405311735_i386.deb

sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-3.14*.deb linux-image-3.14*.deb

sudo update-grub

And everything is working.

And a bonus, I have a USB TL-WN725N which was not working previously and now is working.

Thank you for you help. I was giving up, to be honest...

I will wait 2 weeks to see how my wifi is working and I will post again...

Kardosh · Post by **Kardosh** » Mon Jun 23, 2014 2:44 pm

Thank you for trying that out. I had similar problem, did the same thing with the kernel and my wi-fi now works, too.

BTW, did your login screen change drastically, too?

driuli · Post by **driuli** » Wed Jul 16, 2014 9:58 am

So, everything works perfect. Thank you for all the help!

V8MeatHead · Post by **V8MeatHead** » Tue Aug 26, 2014 11:22 pm

Just wanted to let you know that I had slow and intermittent internet with my HP Pavilion 17 and rtl8188ee.
I upgraded the kernel to: linux-image-extra-3.13.0-34-generic
Using:
apt-cache search linux-image
sudo apt-get install linux-image-your_version_choice
(http://askubuntu.com/questions/119080/h ... ro-upgrade)

It works much better now!

So I don't think you necessarily need to upgrade to 3.14, fyi.
