Mikaela Suomalainen, to advise, this is not Fix Committed as defined in
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status.

Regarding using the upstream version, given it's not provided by Ubuntu,
one should expect no support from Ubuntu if things break.

Despite this, given that the upstream version addresses this issue, at
least it is a starting point for having it backported into Ubuntu.

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: Fix Committed => Triaged

** Summary changed:

- rtl8821ae has no connectivity in 5GHz networks
+ 10ec:8821 rtl8821ae has no connectivity in 5GHz networks

** Description changed:

  Attempting to connect to a ASUS Wireless Router RT-AC51U (firmware
  3.0.0.4.378_9135-gac2b2c2on) on 5GHz I get an IP address and everything,
  but no connectivity. I cannot ping the router.
+ 
+ WORKAROUND: Execute via a terminal:
+ git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git
