** 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.
