I changed those arguments into the ones here: 
https://github.com/Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver which works fine with my 
rtl8192eu wifi dongle. But forgive my ignorant that I don't have enough 
experience on wifi drivers, I just compared those two drivers and 
figured that those codes fixing my IQK failures.

I tested it on my PC (fedora 37 with kernel v6.1.0-rc7) with my 
rtl8192eu device and it works well.
