That is correct, but it should not be too long until there is a mac80211 driver for that chip. I just got GPLd sources from Realtek for a mac80211-based driver for the RTL8192CE PCIe device. It will need only a small amount of work to make it ready for mainline. The critical part is that it uses the same chip as is used in the RTL8712 USB device. For those that are interested in the RTL8187SE, I'm told that they have a working mac80211 driver for it, but that it is not yet stable.
