I claim absolutely no credit for this, and I apologise if this is a duplicate of instructions contained within other posts on this forum, but hopefully this will save someone from despair at some point. Instructions are on a blog post here - http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/ubuntu-trusty-realtek.html

This blog looks pretty decent, worth a lunchtime read

Ahh, nice .. larry finger to the rescue again .. dude deserves a Linux Wireless Knighthood

We need to get this info to donwatson .. I think his onboard card was one of those .. and that's certainly his symptoms.

IIRC, we tried the driver config settings but we didn't try compiling the driver from larry finger

[EDIT]

The instructions for compiling the Larry Finger (lwfinger) driver on that link are no longer valid .. he's moved all the realtek drivers to a central git repo.
they'd now need to read

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential git
mkdir rtlwifi-lwfinger
cd rtlwifi-lwfinger
git clone http://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new
