I use wpa_supplicant to manage my wireless connections.
Here's what I have in my /etc/conf.d/net:
# Prefer wpa_supplicant over wireless-tools modules="wpa_supplicant"
wpa_supplicant_wlp2s0="-Dnl80211"
And the output of lspci:

Are you setting up wireless after doing a fresh install, or did you have it
working before and then it just stopped working for you?
This is fresh. And genkernel doesn't show RTL8188CE in the staging drivers.
It shows drivers with uffixes U and Eu, but not the CE driver.
