Thanks Robert, I did now know about bisect skip. Thanks Larry for trying to reproduce the issue. All I do to reproduce it is to ping a node over the wifi - 100 pings shows about 50 to 70% drops ...
Sorry to take so long to get back to you. For some reason, the RTL8188EE card would not work in my laptop that I use for testing other Realtek devices. To get around that, I had to borrow a suitable laptop. I still do not know which commit is causing the problem, but I can duplicate the problem. As a work around, you should do the following: git clone http://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git cd rtlwifi_new make sudo make install Since our last communication, Realtek sent me a bunch of changes that are just now being submitted to mainline; however, the above GitHub repo has all of those changes and they fix the RTL8188EE problem. You will need to repeat the make and make install steps every time your kernel changes.
