Need I say more... lol. Anyways I've tried the newest Ubuntu and very slow Wifi speeds, is there any REAL fix for this issue? Or am I SOL with any Linux distro right now?

I advise to contact wifi guru JeremyB:

Hopefully he'll be able to help you.

If not, post your question on Ubuntuforums (as if it were for Ubuntu 14.04) and contact chili555 (the Ubuntu wifi guru).

I tried with the help of people online the other night and no avail. Will this wifi card ever be supported fully in newer kernels?

Probably. Or better drivers will become available and be separately installable.

Usually some developer / hacker buys a piece of hardware like that, finds that it doesn't work well, and "scratches his own itch". Generally such guys are willing to share their solution in blog posts, Github and similar places.

Have you had contact with the two people that I mentioned?

Check your wifi router encryption settings, you want WPA2-AES, WPA2-PSK, or WPA2 only, no WEP or TKIP

Then

Code: Select all

echo "options rtl8188ee fwlps=0" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8188ee.conf

Reboot and see if there is any difference

I can not change my router settings at all, the reconnect place that I am through puts custom usernames and passwords on them and doesn't let the customer alter anything. My encryption as it showed in Ubuntu is WPA/WPA2. Those modprode codes look familiar, I shall try them out though.
