[Bug 1526683] Re: rtl8821ae has no connection on 5GHz networks and loses connection occassionally on 2.4 GHz networks requiring hardware button to be toggled twice for connection to be re-established

 

> Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade? Was there a
prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem?

I performed clean install of Ubuntu MATE 16.04 and the issue was present
with the daily image on 2015-12-12.

> Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v4.4 kernel[0]

I will try, even if I am running 16.04 and not 15.10, but from what I
understood it won't remove the current kernel.

Bug description:

  occassionally on 2.4 GHz networks requiring hardware button to be
  toggled twice for connection to be re-established

  I am not fully sure that this is the right package to report this bug
  against, but it's the best idea I have and no one replied when I asked
  where I should report this on two IRC channels.

  I took the name of driver from inxi:

  
  ```
  Network:   Card-1 ♥ Realtek RTL8821AE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter
             driver ♥ rtl8821ae port ♥ d000
