Public bug reported: Binary package hint: linux-firmware
I have a 'getnet 300n' USB wifi adapter. When you plug it in by default in Ubuntu 10.4 you get the following in dmesg: [434864.807665] usbcore: registered new interface driver rtl819xU [434865.036964] rtl819xU: --->FirmwareDownload92S() [434865.036967] [434865.036972] usb 2-6: firmware: requesting RTL8192SU/rtl8192sfw.bin [434865.038617] rtl819xU:request firmware fail! [434865.038618] [434865.038989] rtl819xU:Firmware Download Fail!!a I had a file /lib/firmware/RTL8192SE/rtl8192sfw.bin but not RTL8192SU/rtl8192sfw.bin Initially I was just going to copy the file and hope it worked, but I found the correct file in the debian svn repository. Although it has the same name, its md5sum is different: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/kernel/dists/trunk/firmware- nonfree/realtek/RTL8192SU/rtl8192sfw.bin I copied that file into /lib/firmware/RTL8192SU and un/replugged the adapter. After that it works fine. This file should be included. ------------ Instructions for people new to linux to get this to work: Run the following in a terminal: wget http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/kernel/dists/trunk/firmware-nonfree/realtek/RTL8192SU/rtl8192sfw.bin sudo mkdir /lib/firmware/RTL8192SU sudo cp rtl8192sfw.bin /lib/firmware/RTL8192SU (Then unplug the adapter and plug it back in again.) ** Affects: linux-firmware (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Please include firmware for RTL8192SU https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/595455 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
