I don't know. Did I mention that it fails to load, i.e. probably isn't
there ?

I do have non-free in sources.list, but I'm pretty sure the firmware
blob is not in my installation.

And .32-trunk is the running kernel, has been for some time, and I've
rebooted several times.

Debian source. It's the first kernel build problem I'm had since
the 2.4 days, and I've been using 2.6 since .0.

At this point in time it supposedly should be found in
firmware-linux-nonfree. However, I can't find it there. In fact, I can't
find any sign of Realtek firmware anywhere in firmware-linux-* or in a
standalone firmware package with anything resembling "Realtek" in the
package name or contents.

Very strange. Anyone else able to find any Realtek firmware in any Debian
packages? At this point it would seem the Realtek firmware(s) have vanished.

I wonder if none of the Realtek chips actually need soft firmware blobs. I
guess not since Debian has removed all traces of them from the packages.

Did up aptitude upgrade to the .32-trunk kernel or is your .32-trunk kernel
what resulted from a fresh install? Also, what architecture is your kernel?
Most, if not all, of the commenters in the bug were using amd64 kernels.

Running fine here since 2.6.26 and currently on 2.6.32-4-amd64. Stock
kernel images on testing.
