This is the original blob added by:

    linux-firmware: Add firmware files for Realtek RTL8712U and RTL8192CE

There have been two updates since then:

    r8712u: Update to latest firmware
   =20
    A new firmware file is used in the vendor driver with name/version
    rtl8188C_8192C_8192D_usb_linux_v3.4.2_3727.20120404.

Sure you want to revert both of these, not just the latest?

Ben.
