Looks like finding the firmware may be a wild goose chase.


Cool, it needs the same firmware as my Billion device.

So, download it from Billion's website:
http://au.billion.com/product/wireless/fd_wireless/bipac3011n.php

Unzip it, and the file you want is here:
./rtl8192su_linux_2.4_2.6.0003.1019.2009.p1/rtl8192su_linux_2.4_2.6.0003.1019.2009/firmware/RTL8192SU/rtl8192sfw.bin

Copy the RTL8192SU *directory* to /lib/firmware as root.

Re-plug in your device and check again with dmesg.

-c

P.S. sending back onlist for benefit of others..
Found firmware here:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/373876...8192sfw.bin.gz

On my home wireless now. Thanks for the help mates.
