 Larry, can you decide which of these paths is correct:
 
 rtlwifi/rtl8712u.bin
 rtl8712u/rtl8712u.bin

Greg Kroah-Hartman has just merged

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=b54a28a418b2730bf61554864fee3fb24f79e182
into staging-next (which will be in tomorrow's linux-next and end up in
2.6.39):

MODULE_FIRMWARE(rtlwifi/rtl8712u.bin);

So rtlwifi/rtl8712u.bin, as already used in firmware-linux.git and 
Debian's firmware-realtek package is the correct firmware location.

Bug#602450: directory does not match with driver needs

Severity: normal

Hi,

The lastest version solved only partially the problem.

The driver is looking for the firmware in the rtl8712u firmware directory and
not in rtlwifi as created by 0.28 package...

As a temporary workaround, I made a symbolic link between rtlwifi and rtl8712u
and it does the trick...

I think that mean to patch the 2.6.37 trunk kernel or to change the path to the
firmware...

Best regards
