I'm not sure if my kernel is too old or what but since nothing has changed I'm
going to ask.

Older kernels used create_workqueue(), which is replaced by alloc_workqueue().
If you really need the driver for RTL8192CE/RTL8188CE, then apply the patch
shown below. If you do not need the driver, then disable it in the configuration.

commit 3d986b25b5faa50ba6afd94f60f270b6c3061e5e
Author: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
Date:   Thu Dec 16 14:59:49 2010 -0500

    rtlwifi: use alloc_workqueue
    
    create_workqueue is deprecated.  The workqueue usage does not seem to
    demand any special treatment, so do not set any flags either.

Actually I need RTL8192USB, I guess I need to wait more?

Yes. The rtlwifi driver is for PCIe devices.

What are the USB Ids as shown by the lsusb command?
