I have a Comfast WU810N USB adapter, which uses the RTL8188EUS chipset.
Using (latest Arch) kernel driver, I kept getting errors from dmesg like:R8188EU: ERROR indicate disassoc
However, a comment in the AUR suggested that new functionality in NetworkManager was the culprit, and here's what I added to /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf at their suggestion:
[device] wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no
The NetworkManager.service then needs to be restarted.
Adapter now works like a treat, using inbuilt kernel module r8188eu
Worth trying, or are you not using NetworkManager?
I had a similar problem with TL-WN725N and this workaround fixed it.

If I use the lwfinger's driver in place of RTL871X I see r8188eu and the error message is same.The device is working fine in windows pc.
Any help is appreciated.
