I've been keeping an eye on this bug for a while, and decided to give
the drivers another shot today.  I was very happy to see wifi come up
after pulling the source, compiling, and installing.

An hour later, my wifi disconnected and would not reconnect.  Nothing
particularly helpful in dmesg.  I decided to uninstall the drivers and
it hung.

I rebooted and sudo make uninstall.

Wish I would have bought a different wireless card for this laptop.  I
bought a mini USB wifi dongle but it is also realtek and acts up.
