RTL8188EE Huge Connection Problem

I recently bought a Toshiba Satelite C75D-A7370, my wifi adapter Realtek RTL8188EE has been having severe packet loss while my other laptops run perfectly fine. Even on Windows 8 or 7, I have even toyed around with the modem, this network card does not handle packets well period. I think I have found a soulution on ubuntu forums but I do not know how to shift the commands to arch so if you can please help me.

sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-headers-generic linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential dkms git
git clone https://github.com/FreedomBen/rtl8188ce-linux-driver
cd rtl8188ce-linux-driver
make
sudo make install
sudo cp -r firmware/* /lib/firmware
echo "options rtl8188ee ips=0 fwlps=0" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8188ee.conf

Re: RTL8188EE Huge Connection Problem

I think you can just run the install.sh script in the git directory. You'll have to reinstall when the kernel changes.

Someone smarter than I could probably make a package out of it.
