This is a wireless router with soldered rtl8192ce chip. 
It's an MP hardware too, with empty eeprom.
I don't know why they didn't write anything to the eeprom.
As far as I know, another person also reported this problem on an embedded
system.
I think add support for these devices have no disadvantage.
