The ID that counts is the first one. I think the second is some kind of vendor code.
My other RTL8188CE gives the following output:
0e:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188CE
802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter [10ec:8176] (rev 01)
Subsystem: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi
Adapter [10ec:8176]
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 20
I/O ports at 4000 [size=256]
Memory at f8000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 3
Capabilities: [50] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+
Capabilities: [70] Express Endpoint, MSI 00
Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting
Capabilities: [140] Virtual Channel
Capabilities: [160] Device Serial Number 01-91-81-fe-ff-4c-e0-00
Kernel driver in use: rtl8192ce
Other than the MAC address, and the bus number, they have the same output.
Note, the RTL8188CE-VL does not work with wireless-next, but does with
wireless-testing with some patches applied. I will contact the Realtek software
team to ask questions about your card. I added my contact as a Cc here. In the
meantime, could you try the wireless-testing tree? If your card still does not
work, I will send you some patches to see what it takes.
