[Clive Cox <clivejcox@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a Lenovo T440p.  Just a recap of my experiences. I installed from  http://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git.
My personal experiences:
 - it works ok but sometimes crashes as people have discussed requiring a hard reset
 - it crashes more often if I use skype or stream video
 - it crashes sometimes on web browser going to a new site, new DNS lookup?
 - If I click on NetworkManager (ubuntu) and restart the wifi it can repair itself. If I leave it then normally it will need a hard reset at somepoint.
 - The serious random crashes seemed to happen less after using Larry's latest rtlwifi install for me
 - ethernet connection is also an issue for me and takes several attempts to connect (I use e1000e driver), not sure if there is some interplay between the two drivers?

Personally I have a laptop I can use but need to tred carefully...
Thanks to larry for doing so much. Be great if the final core issues
were found with this hardware driver. I read somewhere what BIOS version
you have can make a difference.
