@vworld4u-g #159: I believe you face the same problem as I do, namely
initial authentication error. To confirm, run "dmesg | tail -20" at the
terminal, and you'll see "wlan0: deauthenticating from xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
by local choice (Reason: 3...)". (Sometimes you'll see Reason 2).

@Bruce #162: My limited Linux knowledge suggests that you may want to
run "sudo depmod" after "make" and "sudo make install", but I could be
wrong.

Finally, let me say a few words about my experience with Larry's git in
#156. The first time I tried the new driver, the connection felt very
fast. But then it went back to normal (which is a little slow) the next
day.

Also, the initial authentication error still keeps coming back (the
problem I mentioned in the 1st paragraph). Almost every time I boot my
machine, it takes 2-15 mins of repeatedly removing and inserting the
rtl8192ee module, plus repeatedly killing wpa_supplicant and
NetworkManager. I also tried "ips=0" as suggested in #163 with no luck.

In case you wonder, I'm using the 3.16 kernel from Ubuntu PPA, and I've
blacklisted the old r8192ee module from the staging directory.
