I have no idea what your problem is. When I reboot with the RTL8192EE installed, it connects quickly to one of my APs.

The output of 'dmesg | grep rtl' is

[ 10.146821] rtl8192ee: Using firmware rtlwifi/rtl8192eefw.bin
[ 10.242108] ieee80211 phy1: Selected rate control algorithm 'rtl_rc'

[ 20.079071] rtl8192ee 0000:02:00.0 wlp2s0: disabling HT/VHT due to WEP/TKIP use

The last line is because it connected with an 802.11g AP.. To check your firmware, the command 'md5sum /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192eefw.bin' should return

c8ced945fe922aa0cdff91f40a77bf12 /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192eefw.bin

I get the same results for either the 4.5-rc5 kernel from wireless-drivers-next or the drivers from the rtlwifi_new GitHub repo.
