Where is the firmware blob for RTL8811CU USB Wi-Fi Adapter?
That means, it can work with libre Debian systems without proprietary firmware in /lib/firmware. I installed this driver : https://github.com/brektrou/rtl8821CU. I was curious to where the proprietary firmware is, but I couldn't find a .bin file in the source code. Wonder if someone else more skilled than me can find it.
