That being said, please allow me to offer encouragement in the development of the rtl8192ee, rtl872ae, and the other members of the rtlwifi_new github. I have been using these myself, and keeping them in my sights as my commercial product that has to support these drivers is being developed. There are some hiccups as is to be expected, but your work is greatly appreciated. I strive to keep our product as free of vendor proprietary code as much as possible and you work with rtlwifi_new and the available integration with multiple revisions of the kernel has been a recent key to that effort.

I am sorry that you have not had access to a driver for your wireless card. The initial driver was accepted into Linux in May 2014 in staging. It was probably not available to you because your distro is one of those that does not enable staging drivers. Perhaps you should consider a different distro. In addition to that driver, another version of the one in kernel 3.18 was made available in a GitHub repo that was created in August 2014. That one contains all the newest versions, and was the source of the changes introduced in kernel 3.18. I have worked very hard on getting these drivers into the kernel. Comments like yours make me wonder if it has been worth my effort.
