Nevermind, as spotted by Pascal Hambourg, the staging driver isn't shipped in nic-wireless-modules (name that's slightly different from the usual drivers/staging/rtl8**). Reassigning to src:linux and tagging accordingly. Merge request coming up (once Salsa upgrades are over), but the r8188eu-udeb branch is already available in my fork: https://salsa.debian.org/kibi/linux/ Tested locally by hotpatching the relevant linux-support file, with the same line addition, resulting in the following debdiff: Files in second .deb but not in first ------------------------------------- -rw-r--r-- root/root /lib/modules/6.1.0-8-amd64/kernel/drivers/staging/r8188eu/r8188eu.ko Unlikely to appear in time for RC 3, chances should be better for RC 4 (but it really depends on whether we'll need or want another linux upload in the next few days).
