Waterboy.. thanks for the link, but there is no wireless driver for Realtek on the link you provided. There is realtek LAN driver from 7 months ago and that's older than the driver I have. What I have installed now is from 8/2/2013 with driver version 2010.5.724.2013
On the link you gave me is from April Realtek Local Area Network (LAN) Driver.. I already checked your vendor's website and it has NO reference to RTL8188EE. There are various variery of RTL8188xx, but I wasn't sure what the ext means, so I didn't get any drivers from there. Other laptop manufacturers have different drivers for the same wifi adapter, but why doesn't HP have the newer ones??
