Among bugfixes / > code deduplication, there some new features too: [...] It took a while to test both, the github version as well as the most recent version on -CURRENT (r307731) with my RTL8188CE (PCI). The github version worked well until 2016-09-05 (commit 580cef). Throughput was limited to around 400 kbit/s. The next test from 2016-09-16 (commit a018e741) caused a better throughput, mostly up to around 1.2 Mbit/s. Its stability was bad, though. Kernel panics as well as random lockups of the interface struck often. The version as of r307731 in -CURRENT is just as bad. It feels as if the stability improvements from r302035 have been reverted. What can I do to help you to improve the situation?
