Wifi connects but stops a lot

[morti]

bummer...Ive gone ahead and tried it while at the library on my netbook...wifi still works...so nothing lost.  Was an interesting exercise anyway...ha.

FWIW - I tried with my set up.. USB Wi-Fi TP-Link WN823N (LL 2.6)
I was having to manually disconnect and reconnect to my wireless after waking..

Ran

Code:

lsusb

Output was similar to Fred's = same driver

Code:

dad@Linux-Thin:~$ lsusb

Using Jerry's instruction

Code:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential dkms
git clone https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes.git
sudo dkms add ./rtl8192cu-fixes
sudo dkms install 8192cu/1.10
sudo depmod -a
sudo cp ./rtl8192cu-fixes/blacklist-native-rtl8192.conf /etc/modprobe.d/

After reboot, Wi-Fi bars went from 3 to 4 much better 


Thanks!!!

I might need this one day.  Can someone mark the best answer and set this thread as solved?

So to satisfy my uninformed curiosity what was it your solution did?[/size][size=1em]

The existing driver was not efficient. The new instructions installed a stable, more reliable driver.
