Ubuntu – Thinkpad t440p wireless network controller

realtekthinkpadwireless

I have a Thinkpad T440P with Realtek 818b as wireless network controller. Is there any device driver available for this controller?

If there is not, which other Realtek WiFi network controllers are similar to this one, with source code, so that I can try to make one?

There is currently no device driver in Linux for this device. Please see here: http://wikidevi.com/wiki/Realtek_RTL8192EE_Reference_Design

Linux driver probably not, at least, not yet

And the bug report here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1239578
I suggest you register and add to the bug report.

If you have or can find a Windows XP driver, you may be able to get it going with ndiswrapper. ndiswrapper requires XP and will not work with Windows Vista, 7 or 8 driver files.
