Added rtl8192se to ubuntu delta. I tested this module on my EEEPC 1201N
http://launchpad.net/bugs/530275
A test kernel is available on my people page:
http://people.canonical.com/~manjo/lp530275-lucid/
The tarball downloaded from the realtek site also contains firmware
rtl8192sfw492.bin rtl8192sfw.bin files which need to go under
/lib/firmware/RTL8192SE/ on extracting the driver tarball and doing a
make, but in the request pull below, I changed the makefile not do
that because we carry firmware separately. Reading the note in
lucid/firmware/ says dont add firmware here. So:
1. Can I copy the firmware from ubutun/rtl8192se/firmware/RTL8192SE/ to
/lib/firmware/RTL8192SE/ at build time? This is what the makefiles do
originally.
2. or Can I put the firmware in lucid/firmware/ with a WHENCE file saying
this firmware is part of the tarball for rtl8192se? and this firmware is
not in the woodhouse tree?
The following changes since commit
911a7bb73346f63655bd54ae20811d19b80f10b1:
Ping Cheng (1):
Input: wacom - add support for new LCD tablets

The firmware must be in one of linux-firmware or linux-firmware-nonfree
depending on license terms.
