Comment 172 for bug 1239578

I've been keeping an eye on this bug for a while, and decided to give the drivers another shot today. I was very happy to see wifi come up after pulling the source, compiling, and installing.

An hour later, my wifi disconnected and would not reconnect. Nothing particularly helpful in dmesg. I decided to uninstall the drivers and it hung.

I rebooted and sudo make uninstall.

Wish I would have bought a different wireless card for this laptop. I bought a mini USB wifi dongle but it is also realtek and acts up.
