Bug#625614: firmware-realtek: Please include RTL8192CU/RTL8188CU firmware
 

Package: firmware-realtek
Version: 0.29
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi,

Please consider including firmware used by the rtl8192cu driver (added
at Linux 2.6.39-rc1) for support of USB wireless LAN devices containing
RTL8188CE-VAU, RTL8188CUS or RTL8192CU chipsets.

The firmware file (rtlwifi/rtl8192cufw.bin) is available in David
Woodhouse's linux-firmware repository and is licensed under the same
terms as currently packaged wireless LAN firmware.
