It is a Realtek Semiconductor device 8176 lspcidrake -v |grep rtl rtl8192ce: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.|Device 8176 [NETWORK_OTHER] (vendor:10ec device:8176 subv:10ec subd:9196) (rev: 01) lsmod shows it's there, but configuring it is a headache till now, so I tried to build drivers anew I found at Realtek for Linux....
