I admit I'm lost. You can see the wifi networks; your wifi interface works fine. We are doing something wrong.
You said a few days ago that you had managed to connect to wifi from a LiveCD. Delete your /home/boot/packages directory and try to establish the connection manually as you did.

Hey Ceel,
something weird happened - today joined a Netgear wifi access point to my rourter - it has a different ESSID of course - did a test it it with the commands you recommended -
/etc/init.d/network.sh stop
modprobe rtl8188ee
/etc/init.d/network.sh start
and... it connected!! Connection is strong and stable.
the only difference between this appliance and the other is that the Netgear hotpoint requires a WEP key - if configured with WPA as, on the other hand, does the router, it didn't start
Now, that our goal is reached the question is....:
Why the router doesn't go? It was always working fine with WPA password....

This is a good news.
Why it doesn't work with WPA? I really don't know.
Well, you can simplify the procedure to start the wifi:
[*]suppress firmware-rtlwifi-20141201.tazpkg from /home/boot/packages; the package is already installed in the Rolling ISO
[*]just run [c]modprobe rtl8188ee[/c]
you should be able to view the wifi networks in TazPanel and the network will be stopped and restarted when you'll click on the [Configure] button.

just one more hint, maybe of minor importance, however checking the module details the protocol accepted by both router and access point is 802.11g or 802.11b which are different from the one shown in the module rtl8188ee (802.11n)
may this make any difference?

Unfortunately, I'm not a specialist of 802.11 :-/
What I've undersood is that the protocol has known evolutions. I guess the module rtl8188ee with 802.11g release is able to drive devices with 802.11b or 802.11g
protocol
You can have a look to this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11#Protocol
I come back on your previous post :
the only difference between this appliance and the other is that the Netgear hotpoint requires a WEP key - if configured with WPA as, on the other hand, does the router, it didn't start
In the french version of the link above I've read that WPA encryption appeared with 802.11i (2004). So it seems normal you cannot connect to your Netgear hotpoint (802.11b, 1999) with a WPA password.
The final release for WPA encryption is dated year 2004 but the first release with WPA encryption is April 2003 and 802.11g is 2003. TazPanel identifies your router as WPA encryption... It should work (but don't you say you did it working with the LiveCD?).
Maybe someone more experienced in this domain will provide an explanation.
