The firmware I added in r15379 is apparently used with the rtl8192u driver. Since Debian doesn't distribute that driver I didn't see any point in distributing the corresponding firmware. Do you know where the firmware for rtl8192su is supposed to be available? Back in March I grabbed everything I could from Realtek's FTP site and didn't find it in there.
