I have a Lenovo ThinkPad Egde E520 (1143) and I have trouble using my Wireless adapter under Win8 64-Bit. On Ubuntu 12.04. 64-bit I have no trouble. The problem is that I almost always only get a limited concectivity to my network and sporadically I get a full connection. Also my computer presents problems while installing the Bluetooth driver.

Could it be that WIN8 64-bit and my wireless-adapter are not compatible?

  • What's the card you have (in Linux lspci | grep -i net if you need it). I see on the Lenovo Page that they have W8x64 available for the Intel card. Though the w7 driver should work.. Have you tried plugging in Ethernet and doing a Windows update to see if Windows does it automagically?

  • Yes, I have the Windows updates..the problem seems to have become more sporadic...anyhow, here is my terminal output $ lspci | grep -i net 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 06) 08:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter (rev 01) it is not an Intel card o.O ... sorry for the scarce formatting i'm kind of a newbie...

    I have the same card in a t530, no issues on my drivers, they were released Oct-12 - the ones on your page are March this year... Perhaps try the ones I linked? I haven't had issues with mine that I can recall.

  • I don't use bluetooth for anything, so I have no real way to gauge that. Sorry!

So, as @Nerdwaller suggested, I decided to install the Lenovo oficial drivers for a T530 released Oct. 2012 downloaded from:

http://support.lenovo.com

Today, 3 weeks after the installation the problem has not appeard.
My wireless is working great!

Thank you for the hint, Nerdwaller!
