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'
[   10.283731] rtlwifi: rtlwifi: wireless switch is on
[   10.297365] rtl8192ee 0000:02:00.0 wlp2s0: renamed from wlan0
[   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.
