Since the 3.18 merge window my wireless card cannot find any access
point (tested with both NetworkManager and sudo /usr/sbin/iw dev
wlp2s0 scan). More precisely, in 3.18-rc1 I got the oops described at
http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=141324391807122&w=2. Sometime
after rc1 Larry fixed this but when I tested again I found that scan
doesn't work (tested 3.18-rc3 and just now 3.18-rc5).

According to lspci -nn my hardware is:
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter [10ec:8176] (rev 01)

If I grep dmesg for rtl, for 3.17 which works I get:
[   31.208206] rtl8192ce:_rtl92ce_read_chip_version():<0-0> Chip
Version ID: B_CHIP_88C

3.18 says:
[   29.213829] rtl8192ce:_rtl92ce_read_chip_version():<0-0> Chip
Version ID: B_CHIP_88C
[   29.230599] rtl8192ce: Using firmware rtlwifi/rtl8192cfw.bin

[  344.942070] rtl8192ce:rtl92ce_get_hw_reg():<0-0> switch case not processed

I added some debug prints and the last line comes from core.c,
rtl_op_stop which calls get_hw_reg with HAL_DEF_WOWLAN. This happens
indeed when I untick Enable wireless in NetworkManager. I assume it's
not related to the more serious scan issue.

How can I help with debugging this?
