I have a RTL8191SU on Ubuntu 10.03 (lucid) 64-bit.

The ~80kB RTL8192SE firmware loads and I can scan but association does not work.
The ~67kB RTL8192SU firmware from svn.debian... /firmware-nonfree/... lets me connect and it mostly works.

The latter does however seem to stop the connection occasionally for about a second, and occasionally spits in the dmesg lines like:
"rtl819xU:Error TX URB for zero byte -62, error -2". I am not sure if these coincide perfectly.
Is that likely to also be a firmware problem or a bug in the driver itself. Should I file a separate bug report for this, as I can't find one?

For the record, Realtek's own drivers (8712u.ko) freeze the entire system.
