[Bug 508746] Re: rtl819xE:request firmware fail!

[Chris Puttick]

To confirm:

download firmware from git as per
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/508746/comments/26

copy firmware to newly created directory as /lib/firmware/RTL8192E
removing the RTL8192E_ prefix;

remove/reload r8192_pci.

Following steps above, wireless still does not function; now get [   14.324690] rtl819xE: PlatformInitFirmware()==>
[   14.324697] 
[   14.324741] rtl819xE 0000:03:00.0: firmware: requesting RTL8192E/boot.img

[   14.480070] rtl819xE:ERR!!! _rtl8192_up(): initialization is failed!
[   14.480072] 

Netbook is Samsung N510. Does this need a new bug creating? Is it one
likely to be resolved in 10.04 patches or in later release?
