Hi -<br>
For the new computer I just built, I bought a D-Link DWA-582 802.11ac<br>
PCIe adapter. It's based on the Realtek RTL8812AE chipset. Does anyone<br>
know the particular magic to get these going, please?<br>
<br>
 From the start on Ubuntu Gnome, the card would work for about 15<br>
minutes, then disassociate itself from the router. It might occasionally<br>
spring back to life for a few minutes, but there didn't seem to be<br>
anything special I was doing to get it reconnected.<br>
<br>
I've updated the firmware blob(s) from the Realtek linux maintainer's<br>
site. Older posts about this chipset say it's a power management<br>
problem, but the newest firmware supposedly fixes this.<br>
<br>
Should I have bought a different card? What 802.11ac cards work for<br>
people here? I'm not super keen on drilling holes in the floor to snake<br>
an ethernet cable up from the basement.<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
