The vendor driver rtl8188C_8192C_usb_linux_v4.0.9_25039.20171107 includes new firmware files. These were extracted from data statements in that driver to form these files. Source: File: driver/hal/rtl8192c/usb/Hal8192CUHWImg.c Variables (CONFIG_BT_COEXISTENCE not set): - Rtl8192CUFwTSMCImgArray - Rtl8192CUFwUMCACutImgArray - Rtl8192CUFwUMCBCutImgArray Please note: I am unsure about the relevance of rtlwifi/rtl8192cufw.bin and if and where from this one should be updated.
New firmware should be sent to linux-firmware@xxxxxxxxxx, not linux-wireless. The material in the first section of this E-mail regarding the derivation of the new firmware should be added to WHENCE in the linux-firmware directory when you git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware
File rtlwifi/rtl8192cufw.bin is loaded only when the initial firmware file is missing or cannot be obtained for some reason. Ideally, it is never used, thus you can skip updating it.
