[Bug 594248] [NEW] Installed a USB WiFi device dmesg reported: rtl819xU:request firmware fail!

[David Mandala]

Public bug reported:

In dmesg output I saw:

[ 9162.144804] usb 1-2: firmware: requesting RTL8192SU/rtl8192sfw.bin
[ 9162.158346] rtl819xU:request firmware fail!
[ 9162.158348] 

As a work around I added a symlink:

RTL8192SU -> RTL8192SE

I reinserted the device and it works.  dmesg reports:
