Package: firmware-realtek
Version: 0.44
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I am using a Lenovo T540 laptop system with Debian Testing x64 (fully up-to-
date) with the Gnome interface. It has a Realtek rtl8192ee wireless adaptor.
The recent firmware-realtek package upgrade from 0.43 to 0.44 allowed my laptop
to pick up wireless signals (good). However, any attempt to connect to a
wireless service results in failure (no response). Any subsequent attempt to
connect to a wireless service results in kernel panic, and total crash/freeze,
with the monitor in 'text mode'. The latop is then totally unresponsive and a
hard reset must be performed to restore the system.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the firmware-realtek package in an attempt
to fix the issue, but the problem remains.

I have been using a Ralink-based USB wireless dongle to obtain a wireless
signal since the built-in Realtek unit has not been available. The Ralink USB
dongle still gives proper service - but I would really like ot get the built-in
Realtek components working.

Please let me know if any logs would be of use in troubleshooting this issue -
thanks.
