Erm, possibly because firmware-realtek doesn't support that particular
adapter (??). It supports variants of the 8191, but I don't see the SU.
root@orca:~# apt-cache show firmware-realtek | grep -i RTL8191SU
root@orca:~# apt-cache show firmware-realtek | grep -i RTL8191
* Realtek RTL8192SE/RTL8191SE firmware, version 4.816.2011
root@orca:~#
I say, possibly, because Realtek firmware is screwy.
There are also USB WiFi adapters that simply don't play with Linux.

Does anybody read signatures any more?
