I have recently done a complete rewrite on the gain control code in rtl8192c. The primary reason for this was to implove the connectivity in rtl8192cu, but the new code also impacts rtl8192ce. At the moment, I am testing a 10ec:8178 RTL8192CE device with good results (RX throughput up to 65 Mbps).

Your comment is confusing. You write about firmware rtl8192cfw.bin, and then say your hardware is RTL8188EE. If that is really your hardware, then your firmware file is rtl8188efe.bin, not rtl8192cfw.bin. Which is correct? The firmware files that work for me have the following md5sums and sizes:

I have been working on the gain control code in rtl8192ce and rtl8192cu. Both had a tendency to wander to the point that the RX gain was too small for the chip to receive anything. The attached patch is a lot better. It applies to the current mainline 3.12-rc2 kernel, but it is likely appropriate
