Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-firmware
This bug is essentially the same that was reported many times in the
past with other versions, the firmware of this card doesn't function
with the actual drivers, this is the log extracted form syslog with the

The Gregkh linux-firmware git isn't available (i read that was merged in
the main tree), but the files exists:
wilfredcom@wilfredcom-Satellite-L505D:~$ ls /lib/firmware/RTL8192E/ -l
total 52
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 344 2010-11-18 16:20 boot.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 848 2010-11-18 16:20 data.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 42944 2010-11-18 16:20 main.img
I tried blacklisting r8192e_pci and r8192se_pci, but when blacklist
r8192e_pci, the "rfkill list all" instruction show's me that the device
is hard blocked but no error appear in syslog, if the case is the other
(blacklist r8192se_pci) the invalid firmware message appear in log.
