You will need to install the kmod-r8192ce package to support your
wireless device. Searching the Device IDs page [1] for the
Vendor:Device ID pairing that you have shown above [10ec:8176], I see

So, whilst using the wired connection, just perform the following two
commands --

yum remove kmod-8188eu
yum --enablerepo elrepo install kmod-r8192ce
