rtl8192cu: Fix missing firmware load
In commit 3ac5e26a1e935469a8bdae1d624bc3b59d1fcdc5 entitled "rtlwifi: rtl8192c-common: Change common firmware routines for addition of rtl8192se and rtl8192de", the firmware loading code was moved. Unfortunately, some necessary code was dropped for rtl8192cu. The dmesg output shows the following: rtl8192c: Loading firmware file rtlwifi/rtl8192cufw.bin rtl8192c_common:_rtl92c_fw_free_to_go():<0-0> Polling FW ready fail!! REG_MCUFWDL:0x00000006 . rtl8192c_common:rtl92c_download_fw():<0-0> Firmware is not ready to run! In addition, the interface will authenticate and associate, but cannot transfer data. This is reported as Kernel Bug #38012. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
