From what I remember, that problem has been fixed. The correct code should be
in 3.8.2 and in 3.9-rc1.
The firmware in all the cards that use the rtlwifi family of drivers its own
rate control. The drivers do not pay any attention to any rate-setting calls
from user space.
I also see reason 7 disconnects; however, with NetworkManager, the network is
reconnects. If you are using ifup or similar method, it probably does not reconnect.
