Driver r8192ee is from the staging directory for kernels older than
3.18. It is *not* the one in rtlwifi_new. You need to blacklist r8192ee!

Bug description:
Open this bug to trace device driver RTL8192EE.

We have seen this wireless card on some laptops, id is [10ec:818b],
driver is RTL8192EE.

This bug is only for the initial support of this WiFi adapter, it's
not working 100% well yet, please report new "not working bug" or
contact upstream but not keep posting comments, thanks.

Status:

pull-request for trusty was NAKed because next minor Trusty release
will use Utopic LTS kernel, which had already fixed this issue.

please wait it or upgrade your whole distro to Utopic.
