    <thetext>The same request applies to kernel-image-std-def-3.14.36-alt1 . (With that kernel, my adapter work very bad, too.)

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #30856 +++

kernel-image-un-def-3.19.2-alt1

I have read that there alternative versions of the driver -- https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu/issues/105 .

The one currently included in the package is:

filename:       /lib/modules/3.19.2-un-def-alt1/kernel/drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/r8188eu.ko
version:        v4.1.4_6773.20130222
author:         Realtek Semiconductor Corp.

lwfinger has 4.1.8 and other versions -- https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu/issues/100 .

He ships his versions under the name 8188eu to avoid a conflict.

The current r8188eu works very bad in my case. I&apos;m not sure why, but the lwfinger&apos;s one might be better.

Why not include it?</thetext>

    <thetext>What does &quot;works badky&quot; mean in my case?

It means that 50% of pings are lost.

It means that downloading from ftp.altlinux.org goes at speed about 50kB/s whereas another nearby computer connected to the same WiFi network does this at 1100kB/s.

And it means that there is a long waiting for establishing connections, which makes it almost impossible to use.

Any log messages?.. Perhaps, this stuff from dmesg gives some information:
