Re: Realtek WiFi not found after installation
Hi "Dejango"
I just read your post and the good replies to it. Here are my thoughts on this as well.
You could try updating your Linux Kernel from Kernel: 4.8.0 to the 4.11 or 4.12 series using the Mint Update Manager or "Ukuu", then rebooting too see if that helps. It is safe to do.
Other instructions for installing the drivers for this.
https://askubuntu.com/questions/763508/ ... -in-xenial
To install this driver, open a console terminal, type in, or copy & paste, each line below one by one:
Click "Select All" above command, right click the highlighted command, select Copy (or Ctrl+Insert), click in the console terminal window, and right click paste (or Shift+Insert), repeat for each command.
Hope this helps ...

Re: Realtek WiFi not found after installation
Update: After the third reboot it just started working. Not sure how stable it is or something I need to look into further?
Re: Realtek WiFi not found after installation
Thanks! It just came on after the third reboot. Think I should still do the kernel update? Would it make it more stable?phd21 wrote:Hi "Dejango"

Im in bed using this right now and loading other software packages while i have it working lol.
Re: Realtek WiFi not found after installation
Hi "Dejango",
You are welcome. Sometimes rebooting is all you need to do.
I would first run all the normal Mint updates, check the "driver manager" to see if any drivers are listed in that.
I also updated my last reply, so please re-read that...
The Linux Kernel 4.12 is a major upgrade that from what I have been reading is worth installing. I did upgrade my Linux Mint 18.1 Kernel to 4.12.5 and it is working well for me. I just ignore any Mint Updates for earlier Kernel versions.
Hope this helps ...

Re: Realtek WiFi not found after installation
Good morning, I had to register an account just to let you know this is the only method that worked to get my wifi working on my hp 15 laptop that I fresh installed Linux Mint 18 on. Thank you so much! Tried for hours and hours trying to get the wifi to work.phd21 wrote: ⤴Sat Sep 16, 2017 1:15 am Hi "Dejango"

Re: Realtek WiFi not found after installation
Logging in just to sing the praises of your fix. Had an HP 15-f233wm with Mint 18.3 x64 Sylvia Mate installed, that refused to behave itself, and this is what worked, and lord knows, I tried plenty of other stuff, prior to finding your marvelous set of instructions.phd21 wrote: ⤴Sat Sep 16, 2017 1:15 am

One small note to anybody else who may have come this way. The final modprobe command (sudo modprobe -v rtl8188ee), returned an error advising that it could not insert rtl8188ee. After scratching my head over this, I just closed the terminal, and at that point I still did not have access to the wifi adapter in this machine (works fine now, as you might imagine, since I'm writing these words on the internet, happily using the thing). Rebooted, and it came up fine and dandy, and has been that way ever since.
A thousand and one thanks to phd21!
Re: Realtek WiFi not found after installation
Wow, that worked right out of the box. What is odd is the install media wifi worked fine so why not the distro? The other thing that is concerning is that, since this is not in a package, at some point, this make will be stale. Everyone going through this process beware! You are holding distro debt...the distro is simply not up to date.
Thank you for the help and great fix!
