RTL8188EUS driver issue

Problems with wifi dongle driver for 64-bit system. Signal level is very low ( 0%-3% ).

$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 009: ID 17ef:7437 Lenovo 
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0bda:8179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188EUS 802.11n Wireless Network Adapter

I tried to install driver from this repo, but it didn't help.
There is no difference between r8188eu and 8188eu. Connection is very unstable, and lost after 1-2 minutes. On windows it works fine.

$ uname -r
4.0.4-2-ARCH

Please help me..

Re: RTL8188EUS driver issue

Try using these options (in combination or independently):

# /etc/modprobe.d/rtl.conf
options <name of module> swenc=1 ips=0 fwlps=0

Test these with:

# modprobe -rv <name of module>
# modprobe -v <name of module>

Connection drops after 1-3 seconds.
