I have the same issue. My wifi card is:

01:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter (rev 01)
 Subsystem: Device 7392:7622

 Region 0: I/O ports at de00 [size=256]

 Capabilities: <access denied>
 Kernel driver in use: rtl8192ce
 Kernel modules: rtl8192ce
Now running ubuntu 12.04 with generic kernel (3.2) and I found a solution that works fine for me. The solution is install the realtek driver that was modified for the user Freedon Ben (the second one answering) in this thread from Askubuntu: http://askubuntu.com/questions/342076/step-by-step-ubuntu-12-04-install-of-realtek-rtl8188ce-driver

I tested it with kernel 3.11 (ubuntu 13.10) and worked fine too.

I'm not an advanced user, so I can't give tecnichal information but esentially what I experience is that I lose the connection frecuently and with this solution the wifi card works non stop. The creator says that works with Ubuntu kernels (3.2, 3.8 and 3.11) and with Fedora 19 and 20 but he doesn't know if that works with other kernels or linux distributions.
