Thanks for your work on this driver. 
I find that the driver now is mostly functional, but I still experience random disconnections, and whenever reconnecting after standby I encounter cycles of scanning->authenticating->associating->disconnecting.

(very much line the behavoiur in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=759931#c6).

Have you looked into how the driver performs after waking from standby?  
Does the driver behave properly WRT powersave? 

When I look at modinfo r8192ee:

[snip]
parm:           swlps:bool
parm:           swenc:using hardware crypto (default 0 [hardware])
 (bool)
parm:           ips:using no link power save (default 1 is open)
 (bool)
parm:           fwlps:using linked fw control power save (default 1 is open)
 (bool)
[/snip]

Does this mean by default, the driver does not interact with link power
save, nor linked firmware control power save?


Thanks,

Lee
