From 022e1d0680c7b4366017393417b8758be5abcee8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Larry Finger Date: Tue, 11 Sep 2012 11:11:13 -0500 Subject: rtlwifi: rtl8192ce: Log message that B_CUT device may not work There are a number of problems that occur for the latest version of the Realtek RTL8188CE device with the in-kernel driver. These include selection of the wrong firmware, and system lockup. A full fix is known, but is too invasive for inclusion in stable. This patch fixes the problem with loading the wrong firmware, and logs a message that the device may not work for kernels 3.6 and older.
