  Some RTL8188EE do have get any results when searching for wireless

  02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188EE Wireless Network Adapter [10ec:8179] (rev 01)
   Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:197d]
   Kernel driver in use: rtl8188ee
   Kernel modules: rtl8188ee

  The newest feedback: RTL8188EE [10ec:8179] and RTL8723BE [10ec:b723]
  have MSI compatibility issue, on some certain platforms they work fine
  with MSI but break connections without MSI, on some other certain
  platforms it's opposite.

  So, will fallback to default pin-based and provide a kernel parameter
  to enable MSI.
