What I meant is that this driver (at least on my HW/SW configuration) is not very reliable.

It drops a lot of packages and transmission speed is far from declared.
But - as far as I checked - it's not due to my changes (I checked that some time ago).

Perhaps my hardware has some issues - I have to buy another rtl8192e card and/or test on Windows 
to be sure (will do both steps probably).

As for measurement, I have simple tests on my home network (WPA2/CCMP):
- Scan available networks
- Download 1MB file, check md5
- Ping router/gateway

Mateusz
