From: Larry Finger Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2012 16:26:05 +0000 (-0500) Subject: rtlwifi/rtl8712u Revert firmware X-Git-Tag: 20190312~762 X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d92576c7fb6d153f364dfa648f4508e15ca51dc8;p=linux-firmware rtlwifi/rtl8712u Revert firmware Although the newest firmware for the RTL8192SU, which is found in vendor driver rtl8188C_8192C_8192D_usb_linux_v3.4.2_3727.20120404, works with most devices, it causes drops of the wireless connection for the ASUS WL-167G V3 (USB ID 0b05:1791), the D-Link DWA131 (07d1:3303), and probably others. Tests show that the firmware from vendor driver rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v7_0.20100831 works better. This commerts reverts to that older firmware.
