This firmware is for a driver that will soon be submitted to the kernel.
It occurs as data statements in Realtek driver rtl8723A_WiFi_linux_v4.1.3_6044.20121224.

Applied, thanks.

I just noticed that the driver in Linux 3.15 seems to ask for
rtlwifi/rtl8723aufw.bin and not rtlwifi/rtl8723aufw_A.bin.  You'll need
to change the filename on one side or the other.

Jes,

As Ben points out, I messed up the firmware names, and one of them needs to be changed. Keeping the name "rtlwifi/rtl8723aufw_A.bin" would retain a certain amount of symmetry, but is may be easier to retain "rtlwifi/rtl8723aufw.bin" in the code. A third option would be to try for one of the names and fall back to the other if it fails. What do you think?

In any case, we need additional MODULE_FIRMWARE macros for the other two firmware files.

Larry
