After continous search for RTL8192EE driver, I found it here.

http://netbook-remix.archive.canonical.com/updates/pool/public/o/oem-
wireless-rtl-92ce-92se-92de-8723ae-88ee-8723be-92ee-dkms/

I'm able to compile and load rtl8192ee on my lenovo t440s laptop.

However, transmitt speed very slow. For couple of times I got too many
Invalid misc: and practically the connection is useless.

After few reboots and it seems to be fine. I'm sending this note from
t440s loaded with 8192ee internet connection. Main drawback right now,
I'm able to get only at max 60kB/s.
