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()==>

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?
