Comment 73 for bug 1030858

Shiki, technically the chip IS supported by linux - you simply had to download drivers from < http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=21&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true#2292 > under the header "RTL8188CUS". Recently, a patch referencing this bug was supposedly released in < http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9-rc4-raring/ >.

I will do further testing if I find the laptop, which is missing.
