Title:
rtl8188ee wireless driver unusable: 25-30% packet loss. 13.10 Saucy
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
I'm seeing a consistent packet loss problem with the rtl8188ee Realtek
wireless driver. Long sequences of pings to the access point IP show
25-30% packet loss. Downloads get 'stuck', pages don't load, it's
generally unusable.
I've tried the following kernels:
/boot/initrd.img-3.11.0-12-generic /boot/initrd.img-3.12.3-031203-generic
/boot/initrd.img-3.11.0-14-generic /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-031300rc3-generic
all with the same result. Packet capture shows lots of dup ACKs, some
retransmits.
I suspected 802.11n might be the culprit, but I've disabled it at the
AP, and the driver seems to respect that judging by these log lines:
Dec 7 21:50:52 congo kernel: [13812.218008] rtl8188ee 0000:01:00.0 wlan0: disabling HT as WMM/QoS is not supported by the
AP
Dec 7 21:50:52 congo kernel: [13812.218011] rtl8188ee 0000:01:00.0 wlan0: disabling VHT as WMM/QoS is not supported by the
AP
Other than those lines there isn't anything noteworthy in syslog.
Very interested in getting this fixed, please let me know how I can
help debug.
