(Get the code!)
@Alexandru: Thank you for that suggestion. I'm not willing to add a PPA for something as important as the kernel. The whole point of having a LTS release is that it receives updates for five years. Bugs like this can not happen in 2017! Or at least they need to be fixed ASAP. We're six weeks in and no fix.
It seems to me that some kernel dev ruined the RTL8188 and RTL8192 drivers and now they can't seem to be bothered to fix the issue. That's simply unacceptable and if this would happen to Microsoft they would receive a good beating for that and rightfully so. Sorry for the rant, but this is really completely unacceptable.
And before anyone asks me for help in fixing this issue -- because it is Open Source and so on -- I am no kernel developer and because I know nothing about how to develop drivers I make sure of not touching them.
So, I ask again: Can Joseph Salisbury please comment on the situation and why there is still no fix for this issue? (FYI: The last entry in the referenced bug #1667920 is from March 17th, which is three weeks ago.)
