Details

Although the r8192s_usb Realtek wireless driver is included with the current kernel, the firmware is missing. This driver requires the file /lib/firmware/RTL8192SU/rtl8192sfw.bin

Two different versions of this file are found below (the first seems more reliable):
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/33927923/rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0010.1012.2009.tar.gz
as rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0010.1012.2009/firmware/RTL8192SE/rtl8192sfw.bin
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/37387612/rtl8192sfw.bin.gz

This firmware is not included in the linux-firmware tree, or in the Linux kernel tree.
