[Bug 1239578] Re: No wireless support for Realtek RTL8192EE [10ec:818b]

 

It's already in Trusty(14.04) daily build, you guys can try it. I will
test it on my side and close this bug.

    Staging: rtl8812ae: Add Realtek 8821 PCI WIFI driver

    BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1287298

    This comes directly from the Realtek tarball, filename:
        wifi_driver_8821ae_0018.1129.2013.tar.gz

    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.
