Package: firmware-nonfree
Version: 0.25
Severity: wishlist
The firmware for RTL8192U as embedded in the r8192u_usb driver (and
subsequently removed) does not have a proper licence statement. We
need to get a licence for binary redistribution, as we have for the
other RTL8192 variants.

I'm giving up on this. The driver was broken in Linux 4.6 and
eventually removed in 6.7:
