[Bug 508746] Re: rtl819xE:request firmware fail!

[mcguire]

I've read on this forum thread :
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1239342&page=8 that Realtek
sends by mail a driver compatible with 64bits to people who contact the
support.

I mailed them today and Realtek (kidman) sends me the driver v14 which
works on 64 bits (tested on kubuntu lucid). It facts, this is the same
driver for 32 and 64 bits but older versions only work on 32 bits (prior
to v13 I think as both v13 and v14 work on 64 bits).

On my Samsung R580 laptop, it disconnects often but it is usable. When
it disconnects, sometimes, it can not reconnect automatically so I have
to unload the module and reload it, then it works again for some time.

I've attached it.

Hope this help
