This is my (short) How-To about
....... it can be build on the spot.
Open a konsole and issue the
bold green commands:
(I have shortened some of the response to keep it better readable)
1. Create directory (to control the mess):
atolboo@pardus2011 ~ $ mkdir RTL8188ce
2. Go into created directory:
atolboo@pardus2011 ~ $ cd RTL8188ce
3. Install/check required PiSi packeges:
atolboo@pardus2011 RTL8188ce $ sudo pisi it make gcc kernel-module-headers -y
Password:

4. Download source code from Realtek:
The whole ftp:// address (including tar.gz) bellow is also part of the wget command and should be
bold green.
atolboo@pardus2011 RTL8188ce $
wget ftp://WebUser:fh7SkVT4@95.130.192.218/cn/wlan/92ce_se_de_linux_mac80211_0004.0816.2011.tar.gz --2011-11-10 22:33:11--

Unpack downloaded file and go into created directory;
atolboo@pardus2011 RTL8188ce $ tar -xzf 92ce_se_de_linux_mac80211_0004.0816.2011.tar.gz
atolboo@pardus2011 RTL8188ce $ cd rtl_92ce_92se_92de_linux_mac80211_0004.0816.2011
6. Build the driver:
atolboo@pardus2011 rtl_92ce_92se_92de_linux_mac80211_0004.0816.2011 $ make
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.37.6/build M=/home/atolboo/RTL8188ce/rtl_92ce_92se_92de_linux_mac80211_0004.0816.2011 modules

7. Install build driver:
atolboo@pardus2011 rtl_92ce_92se_92de_linux_mac80211_0004.0816.2011 $ sudo make install
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.37.6/build M=/home/atolboo/RTL8188ce/rtl_92ce_92se_92de_linux_mac80211_0004.0816.2011 modules

find /lib/modules/2.6.37.6 -name "r8192ce_*.ko" -exec rm {} \;
8. Reboot the computer in order to activate the installed driver:
atolboo@pardus2011 rtl_92ce_92se_92de_linux_mac80211_0004.0816.2011 $ sudo reboot
9. After the reboot I can only check the presence of the driver:
atolboo@pardus2011 ~ $ ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.37.6/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8192se/
total 108
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 109282 Nov 10 22:35 rtl8192se.ko
10. And I expect that you can now make a WLAN connection in your Network Manager.
As I don have the required hardware, this is as far as I can go at this moment.
When the above (short) How-To is too difficult, I can create a PiSi package for it in order to install through Package Manager.
I hope the above will do the trick
Now it´s time to goto
