Getting the right firmware package was a good move. :)
Now did you look at
http://wiki.debian.org/rtl819x ?
The RTL8188CE is supported only in Wheezy, as is the rtl8192ce. Why the
two different identifications I do not know.
You could see what backports has to offer. You'll need a new kernel, I
expect. Or you could upgrade to Wheezy from your present installation.
