The code to create the binary firmware file is at:
https://gitlab.com/koblitz-rtlnic/rtlnic_fw
But I cannot submit the firmware itself to linux-firmware, as the sourcecode from
which the binary data is extracted is published by Realtek under the GPL.
For linux-firmware, a binary distribution license is necessary, which requires
someone from Realtek to license it under their usual firmware license. I
contacted Realtek, but never heard back.

Cheers,
