- Clone 'rtlwifi_new' package from GitHub -- these drivers are polished and work much better than the ones built in the kernel
- make
- sudo modprobe -rv rtl(driver)
- sudo make install
- sudo modprobe -v rtl(driver)
In my case, my WIFI card is the model RTL8821AE, so the driver's full name is 'rtl8821ae'. God bless the Holy Open Source brotherhood of programmers!
