Can you give more details about the issue, the symptoms, possible crash
backtrace, way to reproduce it. Without this details, there are very few
chances to be able to fix the bug.

glibc is not involved at all in the wireless driver, so I don't see the
relation with the previous issue.

Without more details, I also fail to see the relation with glibc here.

There are thousands of packages in different versions between Debian 8
and Debian 9. You have found it's not related to the kernel, but I fail
to see how that shows it's a libc6 issue. For example when you have
tried the kernel from Debian 9 in Debian 8, have you also tried with the
rtl8192 firmware from Debian 9?

Anyway if we want to know that the problem is related with glibc, please
try to install glibc packages (libc*, possibly locales* and nscd if
needed) from Debian 9 onto a working Debian 8 installation and see if
the problem appears.

Without more information, there is no way for us to fix the bug, so
we'll just have to close it.

Thanks,
Aurelien
