The realtek driver in the rtlwifi_new repository appears to fix the
problem.  I built the driver and installed it, and now have apparently
normal network connectivity.

  git clone http://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git
  cd rtlwifi_new
  make
  sudo modprobe -rv rtl8188ee
  sudo make install
  sudo modprobe -v rtl8188ee

Title:
  10ec:8179 [HP Pavilion 17-e171nr Notebook PC] RTL8188EE driver
  regression in 3.13.0-24.  Extremely slow network performance

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'm experiencing excruciatingly slow wireless performance on upgrading
  to Trusty.  There are numerous reports of simlar symptoms on the
  forums, and the solution seems to be to download/install a newer or
  older kernel, or build a new version of the rtl8188ee driver.

  Here are some examples:
