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

 

I'm having the same issues with system freezes. Sometimes I can still
move my mouse and issue some terminal-commands, sometimes it completely
freezes and the only thing I can do is to press the power-button until
it turns off.

What I noticed is that the CPU Usage in my CPU Graph Indicator (XUbuntu)
shows 1 CPU constantly on 100%, while at the same time top doesn't show
any high CPU Usage. I cannot relate this to any specific process. If I
can provide any diagnostics while in this high-CPU-usage-state, please
let me know how I can help, as it's really annoying.

This only happens if I'm connected to a wireless network. For now, I
just use the ethernet cable when I'm at my desk and turn off the Wifi
connection manually.
