Hi, I had a rtl8192ce in my laptop. Nothing but problems with Linux. Don't know why, but the signal strength always was much better when using Windows.
For me, the rtl8192ce only worked when using it as a module, not hard compiled in the kernel. Second, it is important to know that this WiFi Card stopped working for me with kernels > 3.17. The card was detected but it didn't show up any WiFis. I read that there were fundamental changes to the rtlwifi stack in 3.18. Eventually I decided to buy a new card and better card (Intel Centrino, I now can connect to 5GhZ networks :) ) for my laptop and I'm so happy now :) No more Realtek WiFi cards for me.
