rtl8192cufw_TMSC.bin missing

I purchased USB WiFi adapters that is supposed to work on Linux (Realtek 8192 cu ). I am using IMX6Q android 5.1.1 with version 3.14.52 of the kernel. I have enabled the rlt8192cu driver in the kernel, compiled it and installed it on my board. When I boot the board and plug in the usb dongle the system sees it and tries to install it. However it then says it tries to install "alternalte" firmware. This is what I am seeing:

Hi Skai

attempts to install "alternalte" firmware means

that this chip needs its specific firmware version, suggest

to apply to vendor of this chip for updated firmware.

Best regards

The usb wifi is a small thing . I don't think the vendor will kindly provide the update confirm firmware for me. I download the rtl8192cufw_TMSC.bin from the internet , but it print this :rtl8192cu: Loading firmware rtlwifi/rtl8192cufw_TMSC.bin

direct firmware load failed with error -2.

So you can test the 8188 in your board for android 5.1 system ?

Did you get a solution for "firmware loading failed"?? I downloaded the firmware from internet and copied it in the firmware folder but it doesnt load.
