For this device to work you need both a kernel driver and
firmware. The kernel driver is probably being built, but
the firmware is probably not installed.
Make sure your image includes the appropriate firmware for
the device. In your case I think this would be linux-firmware-rtl8192ce
Does the appropriate driver get loaded into the kernel? What
does 'lsmod' show?
If you still have trouble, send the output of 'lsmod' and 'dmesg'
after you plug in the device.
