Help getting Ben Freedom's wifi drivers working on Toshiba L755 (RTL8188CE)
I am painfully new to linux and running Mint xfce Tessa. (I have exhausted the Mint forums on this issue with my newbieness.)
After migrating to Mint I discovered my realtek RTL8188CE no longer works, or rather instead of 20 down 10 up, I get 1 mbps down.
After running Ben's updates several times, I once found the adapter working beautifully, faster than it did in Windows. However, this patch or mod or whatever must have disappeared in a reboot and I haven't recaptured it since. (build-essential is installed.)
I've re-run the install several times since and the "i am running this driver" script inside the package shows his package is installed, but my speed is dreadful slow again.
Being so new, I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this, but since it seems so close to working (for good) I thought I'd see if someone might have some ideas.

Mint is off-topic here. The question should be closed, but you can try searching for some solution at this site. Some may work.

So did you use make and sudo make install, or did you use dkms?
