Sudden issues with Realtek Wi-Fi Adapter

[valemin]

Hello everyone,

I'm new here and this is my first question. I hope I can provide you all the information needed.

My laptop has always worked fine until yesterday (just some problems with the fan, it's a bit noisy). When I switched it on today, I found out that the Realtek RTL8188EE 802.11 bgn Wi-Fi Adapter has stopped working all of a sudden. The problem is identified as code 43.

I must say that no upgrades were available yesterday evening when I switched the laptop off, so I really can't figure what happened (during the night). I hope you'll help me.

Thank you to all

Please try this to get info on the adapter...

repeat the getmac command when the screen opens and post the result.

Thank you Lil_Boy_Blu but after being disabled and re-abled for 4 or 5 times, the adapter started working again. I sincerely don't why and how come but that's all I need. Anyway, I appreciate your interest and your help.
