Problematic RTL8188EE Wireless Network Adapter

Good Day All,
There are numerous results when searching google on this issue, however, none seem to have a solution.
I have read until my eyes bleed and banged my head on the table more than once! :)

I am hoping to resolve this issue -- or at least have a decent workaround.
It is a real pain not to be able to put my laptop in standby knowing that if I do, I will have to reboot to regain my wireless connectivity.

I have copied snippets from **lshw** which first shows what type of system we are dealing with and then the state that the
wireless adapter is left in after going into sleep mode.

Unloading and reloading the drivers, obviously, has no effect. The card stays disabled.

My question:
Is there a way (via scripting or creating a small piece of executable code) to access the hardware, turn the wireless adapter back on,
and reload the drivers to regain connectivity without rebooting?


I am using Fedora 21 with the most recent kernel updates...

I can provide whatever other information that might be needed for this project very expeditiously.
Many people will be benefited by a workaround for this issue.

Code snippets...
