I have installed 3.15.0-031500rc7-generic following the instructions
above. Leaving a ping running for 300 pings suggests that it does not
fix the problem: 6% packet loss, which is how it was with 3.14.?? on a
good day and while most pings are things like 2 or 3 ms, there are
periodic occurrences of over 2s even 4s: very much the same pattern as
another person reported earlier.

I am using an HP Pavilion laptop with Network controller: Realtek
Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188EE Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01).

I first installed Kubuntu on this laptop in January (I think) using
Kubuntu 13.10. That worked flawlessly (the first time I have ever had a
Kubuntu/Ubuntu/Suse install go so smoothly!) The upgrade to Kubuntu
14.04 is when I started to notice wifi problems.

Title:
  168c:0024 [HP Pavilion p6706f Desktop PC] Poor wireless connection
  with current kernel

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The new 3.13 kernel that came with kubuntu 14.04 creates some kind of
  issue with my internet connection. I get severe lag and stalled
  connections. I mostly noticed playing online games but also see
  package d/l progress pause/freeze during apt upgrades and sometimes my
  browser will not connect. The same day I upgraded there were no issues
  at all, now they are there. I found out it must be the kernel as i am
  currently using 3.11.0-19 and the issues have vanished.

  Please let me know what other info to provide.

  I thought I might also add that I had found another with this issue on
  AskUbuntu, http://askubuntu.com/questions/451724/wireless-connection-
  slow-inconsistent-after-fresh-install-ubuntu-14-04-realtek
