To report on the good news as well. 
I tested the new RTL8192EE driver linked in comment #184 on the 20th Sept (after commit 5edf3e917dd11dbace503f25dde96a273ce4ca59) and had the same connection problems reported in comments #212 (and others before).

However I tested again yesterday (after commit
73fea9d157e08f9ea8d3736061a3b42a7cf6a219) and now everything works fine.
The connection is stable, the speed as to be expected. Used it for 2
days now against different access points, all WPA secured.

T440s Lenovo laptop
Ubuntu 14.04.1 all updates applied
Kernel 3.16.2-031602-generic 

Module loaded without specific config settings.

Not sure if any of the commits are relevant, but I figured I would
report this anyway.
