a couple of weeks ago, I installed Linux mint 18.3 Cinnamon on my Asus-K550V in dual boot with Windows 10, to do that I had to set the option "nomodeset" and then download and install the drivers for my graphic board (Nvidia-Gforce-gtx950M). After the installation everything has been going fine, except for two things: wifi was really unstable and sometimes, when I switched the pc on or off, some lines saying "PCIe bus error..." like in the photo below popped up for less than a second.
I wasn't really worried about the latter issue, but the wifi disconnecting all the time was really annoying, so I searched some drivers for my wifi board, after seeing by the command lspci it is a Realtek RTL8821AE.
Following a guide on a forum I gave the following commands (without being really aware of what I was doing to be honest ):
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential git
git clone http://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git
cd rtlwifi_new
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe rtl8821ae
