Dear Mr. Finger!
Thank you for paying attention to the problem. I've just posted an
updated information to that bug before receiving this message.

I get these results

with a driver from rtl8192ee_revised.tar.bz2 file in
https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new/tree/extended repository built
against Linux 4.19.65-1-lts ArchLinux current LTS kernel.

Connection speed and stability on a heavy load are also perfect.

Hope this info would help solving current rtl8192ee problem.

Please let me know if any additional info is needed.

Best regards,
Sergey Kharitonov
