Hallo,

let the moderation queue bypass)

Grml is based on Debian, so *usually* only once the rtl8188fufw.bin
firmware file makes it to an according firmware package of Debian,
Grml will pick it up. :)

According to
https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?p=788378&sid=64e91139e2212e972b4c7693233ec9ec#p788378
there are chances this might happen soonish, given that
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/snapshot/linux-firmware-main.tar.gz
seems to already include the file? Reaching out to the Debian kernel
folks might be worth it, if it's important for you.

Once
https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=rtl8188fufw.bin&mode=path&suite=testing&arch=any
reports the file to be included in a Debian package, chances are
that Grml might also provide it then. :)
