Thanks for the patch, just tested the rtl8xxxu-devel branch and it seems
to have the same exact issue with the same dmesg output with the
addition of "rtl8192eu_active_to_emu: Disabling MAC timed out" when I
disconnect the dongle.

I checked out and compiled the whole kernel from the branch because the
4.7.4 sources seemed to be missing the rtl8192eu_active_to_emu function.

These are the main networking scripts provided by Linux From Scratch, by
the way:
