hi folks

i have a running 6.12.6 debian on a TBS moi+ tv streaming box
upgrade to 6.13 works too, but i've downgraded to 6.12.6.
the original u-boot get lost, so (thanks bodhi!) i'm using latest one from this forum.

the box was issued with a 2.6.35.14 linux, supporting on-board RTL8188EUS chip

on the stock rootfs the file structure for its driver looks as following:

~ # find /lib/modules/2.6.35.14/kernel/net/
