Re: Bug#609538: r8169: long delay during resume

When resuming from suspended with 2.6.38-rc1 with my RTL8168d/8111d
hardware, I see significant delays [1].

The only firmware I see in /lib/firmware is RTL8192E, thus it looks
like this is due to it being not present.

I see that Francois' patch is present in 2.6.38-rc1; is there a way to
avoid this delay, or is this likely in request_firmware?

Thanks,
  Daniel
