Hi,
On a toshiba laptop (see dmesg attached), with a wireless-next kernel,
this card doesn't seem to turn on:

After inserting the module, the PCI information is scrambled:

After a few seconds, the computer will freeze if the module isn't removed.
The card works on Windows.
This looks like a hidden rfkill, or maybe it is a different revision of
the card. What do you think ?

The ID that counts is the first one. I think the second is some kind of vendor code.
My other RTL8188CE gives the following output:
0e:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188CE

Other than the MAC address, and the bus number, they have the same output.
Note, the RTL8188CE-VL does not work with wireless-next, but does with
wireless-testing with some patches applied. I will contact the Realtek software
team to ask questions about your card. I added my contact as a Cc here. In the
meantime, could you try the wireless-testing tree? If your card still does not
work, I will send you some patches to see what it takes.

The above line is unexpected. Do you have a module option set in /etc/module.d/?

Without a full 'sudo lspci -nnv' listing for the wireless, it is hard to tell if
it is a different revision. The rx descriptor unavailable message is a new one
for me.
I have two different revisions of the RTL8188CE card. The newer one, marked
RTL8188CE-VL, gives the following lspci output:
06:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188CE

It certainly does not yield the rx descriptor problem. Please send the lspci
output when the driver has not been loaded.

What patch does wireless-testing have that aren't in wireless-next ? I
failed to find them.

The subsystem ID is different on my wireless card (8212):

This id is nowhere to be found in the rtlwifi driver. The only matches in
Google are my previous problem report (FWLPS freeze) and windows driver

Indeed. This is embarassing. The mail had a full lspci attachement
planned which was forgotten. See attached file.

Yes. This is related to another problem, see:
