Which would be a local patch again. I'd like to fix the pain for many users (who enjoy buying cheap hardware for some unknown reason) ending up with one of the common off-the-shelf-at-the-grocery-shop devices. "I wanted to buy some condoms but grabbed a WLAN adapter instead". For some unknown reason Realtek has released dozens of nearly the same devices with completely different drivers and nobody consolidated all the RTL8192[ABCDE][C|U|E] drivers into one. I don't think adding a handfull of additional drivers would hurt that much and installing the proprietary firmware (if necessary) isn't that much of a PITA if the driver module has been included.
