As John Linville suggested, please open a bugzilla report.

I would also like some additional information. What kernel are you using? In
addition, please post the 'lspci -nnk' information for your card.

I also think that pdev->bus should have been setup before the initialization
code in rtl8192ce was called. I have not tested the driver on other than x86 and
x86_64 architectures because of hardware availability, thus ARM may expose some
problems. Is this soc little-endian?

Thanks,
Larry
