Logs are always helpful. As some of us do not use Ubuntu, a kernel version as 
shown by 'uname -r' is a lot more helpful that what version of Ubuntu you are using.

Kernel 3.19-rc4 from the wireless-drivers repo contains all those commits in 
-next, and it works fine here. At this point, I have been connected for 27 hours 
with a WPA2 connection.

You can also try the repo at http://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi-new.git. The 
master branch should be OK. If not, try the troy branch.
