Bug#602450: directory does not match with driver needs

[mourad <newbeewan@nativobject.com>]

Package: firmware-realtek
Version: 0.28
Severity: normal

Hi,

The lastest version solved only partially the problem.

The driver is looking for the firmware in the rtl8712u firmware directory and
not in rtlwifi as created by 0.28 package...

As a temporary workaround, I made a symbolic link between rtlwifi and rtl8712u
and it does the trick...

I think that mean to patch the 2.6.37 trunk kernel or to change the path to the
firmware...

Best regards
