To confirm:
download firmware from git as per https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/508746/comments/26
copy firmware to newly created directory as /lib/firmware/RTL8192E removing the RTL8192E_ prefix;
remove/reload r8192_pci.
Following steps above, wireless still does not function; now get [ 14.324690] rtl819xE: PlatformInitFirmware()==> [ 14.324697] [ 14.324741] rtl819xE 0000:03:00.0: firmware: requesting RTL8192E/boot.img [ 14.410940] rtl819xE 0000:03:00.0: firmware: requesting RTL8192E/main.img [ 14.428051] rtl819xE:Download Firmware: Put code ok!

Netbook is Samsung N510. Does this need a new bug creating? Is it one likely to be resolved in 10.04 patches or in later release?
