[Maverick linux-firmware] Add link for RTL8192SU firmware

As I was able to test with some hardware in my hands, it seems that
the r8192s_u module will work just fine with the firmware in RTL8192SE.
So adding a simple link makes the hardware work out of the box.
Unfortunately I could not verify whether the same is true for Natty as
that hardware then uses the r8712u module which has its firmware built
into the kernel driver.

Subject: [PATCH] UBUNTU: Add link for RTL8192SU firmware

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/721356

Create a link from RTL8192SU -> RTL8192SE as testing proved the same
firmware works for both.
