So adding a simple link makes the hardware work out of the box. Unfortunately I could not verify whether the same is true for Natty as that hardware then uses the r8712u module which has its firmware built into the kernel driver. -Stefan From dbfe6f0fecdfea587f3d4e285f2b1e8b9875578d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Bader Date: Fri, 18 Feb 2011 16:31:40 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] UBUNTU: Add link for RTL8192SU firmware BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/721356 Create a link from RTL8192SU -> RTL8192SE as testing proved the same firmware works for both.
