commitb2fa9e13bbupstream. The old rtl8188eu module, removed in commit55dfa29b43("staging: rtl8188eu: remove rtl8188eu driver from staging dir") (Linux kernel v5.15-rc1), required (through a MODULE_FIRMWARE call()) the rtlwifi/rtl8188eufw.bin firmware file, which the new r8188eu driver no longer requires. I have tested a few RTL8188EUS-based Wi-Fi cards and, while supported by both drivers, they do not work when using the new one and the firmware wasn't manually loaded. According to Larry Finger, the module maintainer, all such cards need the firmware and the driver should depend on it (see the linked mails). Add a proper MODULE_FIRMWARE() call, like it was done in the old driver. Thanks to Greg Kroah-Hartman and Larry Finger for quick responses to my questions.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
