    Samsung R580 Laptop Wireless issues.

    Hi,

    first post. I have Samsung R580 i3 4gb ram etc.. it's 5 years old. Shipped with Win7 32 bit.

    Last year I installed Mint 17 64bit as I was new to Linux, so duel booted. However I didn't use it much because the wireless connection would drop to a few mbit connection speed after a few minutes, making it unusable.

    I did Google and forum searches for answers, but nothing seemed either easy to implement, or work.

    But, I wanted to use linux after using Win 10 since Feb on the insider program, so I did a complete clean install of Kubuntu 15.04 64bit on the laptop last week, no duel booting, just linux.

    After having the same wireless issues, I upgraded the Kernel to 4.1.6, but to no avail. Everything works, but again, wireless connects, but drops to a few mbits speed after 2 minutes or so. I do have a Texet wireless usb as back up but cannot fathom how to install it as its not plug-and-play like windows, It does have Makefiles, but I'm new to Linux.

    I would rather get the native wifi card to work.

    The "parm" can be set manually. Here is how.
    I don't have the E version on my system.

    Set the module parameters in a file you create yourself in /etc/modeprobe.d
    Call it rtl8192E.conf
    Code:
    [COLOR=#111111][FONT=Consolas]options rt8192ce fwlps=0 swlps=0 ips=0[/FONT][/COLOR]
    Experiment to see if any setting work for you.
    Using sudo you can use rmmod to remove rti81902?? (whatever your version is) and modprobe rtl8192 to reload it and test the change.

        Good link, oshunluvr! From that link comes:

        rtl8192ce

        Devices supported by this driver may suffer from intermittent connection loss. If so, it can be made more reliable by disabling power management via module options ips and fwlps. These can be supplied by creating a new file:
        /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8192ce.conf
        • options rtl8192ce ips=0 fwlps=0


        But, if that doesn't work then he'll have to do what is recommended in your second link, and redo it everytime there is a kernel change.

          If package dkms is installed, that shouldn't be necessary.
