[David Spies <1239578@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I often have to restart a couple of times before I can connect to wi-fi.  When I finally do, there can be anywhere from 10% - 40% packet loss.
I tried installing rtl-wifi-new and I wasn't able to connect at all (although maybe I didn't restart enough times) so I tried uninstalling it and the uninstaller destroyed my /boot/efi partition.  I couldn't repair it and had to re-install Ubuntu altogether.

I'm on Ubuntu 14.10, kernel 3.16.0-23-generic.  I have a Lenovo ThinkPad T440p laptop.
