Juan/Kelvin,
Based on Larry's earlier responses, I think we're going to have to wait until the 3.18 kernel for the new and improved driver. Realtek has apparently made a lot of fixes to its version of the driver, but porting it to the kernel is a lot of work on Larry's part.
It sounds like some people have had found the current version of the driver reasonably stable. That hasn't been my experience, but it's hard to know what variables are making the difference. Personally, I bought a cheap USB wifi adapter to use until the Linux driver for this chip is more stable - if you can find a USB adapter with good linux drivers, that may be the best option for you.
Juan: the kernel module is r8192ee, not rtl8192ee.
