The same problems as with the 8723bu where REG_RX_WAIT_CCA bits 22 and 23 didn't get set in rtl8192e_enable_rf(). In addition it also seems prone to issues when setting REG_RF_CTRL to 0 intead of just disabling the RF_ENABLE bit. Similar to what was causing issues with the 8188eu. With this patch I can successfully reload the driver and reassociate to an APi with an 8192eu dongle.
