In commit 8c213fa, the command to release the firmware was placed
in the wrong routine. With NetworkManager, problems were rare, but
when using wicd as the network control, there is a problem as shown
in https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27996#comment89833.

This changelog is pretty rubbish.
1) The subject is rubbish.
2) Which commit was 8c213fa? Write it as 8c213fa "staging: r8712u:
Use asynchronous firmware loading". Some of us are really old and
our memory is not good anymore, so we don't know what you're talking
about if you only use the commit id.
3) A link to the bug is good, but please at least put a basic
description of the bug into the changelog itself.
