If you want a working driver for the RTL8192EE, you will need to wait
for kernel 3.19, or download the drivers from
http://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git. The latest Realtek code is
in the "troy" branch of that repo. That should fix the freezes and the
wireless stalls.

The changes are so invasive that they are unlikely to be packported to
any kernels older than 3.19.

  Open this bug to trace device driver RTL8192EE.

  We have seen this wireless card on some laptops, id is [10ec:818b],
  driver is RTL8192EE.

  This bug is only for the initial support of this WiFi adapter, it's
  not working 100% well yet, please report new "not working bug" or
  contact upstream but not keep posting comments, thanks.

  pull-request for trusty was NAKed because next minor Trusty release
  will use Utopic LTS kernel, which had already fixed this issue.

  please wait it or upgrade your whole distro to Utopic.
