<PRE>Hi,

I have a realtek wifi card:

~]# lspcidrake -vv|grep -i wifi
rtl8192ce       : Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.|RTL8188CE
802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter [NETWORK_OTHER] (vendor:10ec device:8176
subv:10ec subd:9196) (rev: 01)

it uses kernel module rtl8192ce (still dont understand why Mageia is
calling as &quot;RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter&quot; where is a 8192) and
untill today it has happened that when writing, multiple times i get
characters repeated like the keyboard key was stuck.

When i runned Mandriva cooker 2 months ago i didnt had this problem so
i went to see the differences between both packages
kernel-firmware-nonfree (from Mageia) and kernel-firmware-extra (from
Mandriva) and i saw that there are missing firmware files in the
Mageia package, these files exist upstream, so i dont understand why
werent them all put available in Mageia...

In conclusion, after adding the missing firmware files into
/lib/firmware/rtlwifi/ i finally started having a normal behaviour
when writing (it didnt happen again to have repeated characters like
keyboard keys were stuck).
Willl these files be added into the package or will i have continue to
have attention if files that exist upstream are packaged?
</PRE>
