Bug#579694: firmware-nonfree: Please include rtl8192su/ r8192s_usb firmware into the (unreleased) firmware-realtek binary package.
OK, I spent all day trying to compile the linux drivers from http://filebin.ca/wrjcg/Cerio_UW-202N-O_linux_2.6.0002.0708.2009.tar.gz which is what came on the CDROM with the hardware. (Looking for a newer version just gets windows versions. http://www.cerio.com.tw/main.htm http://www.cerio.com.tw/include/uw-202n-o.asp ) Result: Linux too new for driver source. Also http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1PNid=48PFid=48Level=5Conn=4DownTypeID=3GetDown=falseDownloads=true#RTL8192SU result: compile still fails. Anyway, I don't want to attempt this compilation stuff. Can somebody just send methe .ko files I need for 2.6.32 or 2.6.33? I have installed firmware-realtek. Now all I need is something to make bash: /sys/bus/usb/drivers/r8192s_usb/new_id: No such file or directory not bomb out. Please. I mean the firmware is now in Debian even before the other more important part. Help. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

OK, say I don't want to wait for a .deb containing http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=c0087580b8d414f6874cfe93d2653212842fcb44 to be available, even in debian-experimental distribution.

While it works quite well, unless you unplug, it is pretty noisy with debug and function tracing enabled.

I have bought this item, and the man says I have exactly one day to return it if I cannot get it working on linux... I will now attempt to do so using modprobe and .debs, like 2.6.33-2 kernel which I just downloaded, as I don't want to learn how to compile kernels.
