Package: firmware-nonfree Version: 0.23 Severity: wishlist Hi
The staging driver rtl8192su/ r8192s_usb, needed for the "Longshine
LCS-8131N2" 0bda:8171 [1] USB wlan device, requires a binary firmware to
function:

[41118.440246] usb 1-3: firmware: requesting RTL8192SU/rtl8192sfw.bin
It would be great, if the according firmware image could be added to
firmware-nonfree as part of the new/unreleased firmware-realtek binary
package.
Please note that this had already been added to firmware-nonfree before,
but was removed again as not confirmed to be working.

Revert r15379; this firmware is used by yet another Realtek driver
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r15379 | benh | 2010-03-15 14:54:31 +0100 (Mon, 15 Mar 2010) | 5 lines
Add firmware-realtek package
Initially contains Realtek RTL8192 firmware for use with rtl8192su driver.
[...]
It would be nice if revision r15379 could be reinstated, but please
note that the kernel (or rather rtl8192su/ r8192s_usb) looks for the
firmware under:
$ /sbin/modinfo r8192s_usb | grep ^firmware
firmware: RTL8192SU/rtl8192sfw.bin
and not RTL8192/rtl8192sfw.bin, as previously assumed in r15379.
