** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: linux-firmware
  
- tbd
+ SRU justification:
+ 
+ Impact: Firmware file not found because the driver is looking for a
+ different path.
+ 
+ FIX: Create a softlink for the directory.
+ 
+ Testcase: Inserting a wireless dongle which uses this driver.
+ 
+ ---
+ 
+ The driver is looking for its firmware in RTL8192SU/ which is not
+ present, but RTL8192SE/ contains a firmware file with the name the
+ driver is looking for. And at least with the wireless dongle I was
+ testing with, I could successfully authenticate to my AP after creating
+ a link to the other directory. I assume the difference between the SE
+ and SU drivers is just whether the device is PCI or USB. But apparently
+ the FW is working for the SU as well.
+ 
+ I cannot verify whether this is true or not for Natty, as the HW I can
+ test with is there using the rtl8712 module which has a built in
+ firmware code.
