Re: firmware-realtek (0.29) can't work at amd64

[spp mg <sm.sppmg@gmail.com>]

sorry,I am too late to reply.
Because I have not the RTL chip at hand.I can't try now.

I try to describe detail.
I use wicd (RTL8191SU and amd64) connect wireless network.

wicd scan function is ok, but when I connect net,it will connect a long time,and display "password error".But I'm sure password is right.(The config can use in kernel 2.6.26.)

On the i386,I just use apt install firmware-realtek (0.29).
------
Other information :
When RTL chip work ,r8712u will load.
I read the Wheezy section (from the debian wiki page).
I just don't do that : 

cp rtl8192u_linux_2.6.0006.1031.2008/firmware/RTL8192U/* /usr/local/lib/firmware/RTL8192U

(And my chip is not 8192.)

I'm not sure if you have already tried with any of the mentioned in this
wiki page:

http://wiki.debian.org/rtl819x

It seems the driver has been available since kernel 2.6.32-10 so it
should also be present for 2.6.38-x and upwards :-?
