Bug description:
  My Wife’s laptop is an Asus X555L, it has a RTL8821AE 802.11ac PCIe
  Wireless Network Adapter. When I first installed Ubuntu-Mate 16.04 for
  her, the Wireless Network adaptor driver was part of the Kernel. Her
  wireless connection reliability was terrible, continually dropping
  connection.   It also connects sometimes at really low data rate,
  sometimes as low as 6bits/s (my laptop always connects at min
  150Mb/s). She has been Ethernet cabled to my LAN Switch for the last 6
  months until I Googled for a driver and found a post pointing to a
  driver by Lwfinger on github. See:

  http://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git

  Please can the Mate “Firmware Package” include a driver for RTL8821AE
  wireless network adaptor. This would help all users with an Asus x555
  series Laptops.
