Hi,
Debian gets lots of bug reports, so it's not uncommon to not get a
timely reply.
Anyway, firmware is probably not the problem. If you're running stretch,
try grabbing a newer kernel (maybe from experimental).
You could also try the work-in-progress driver from
https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new
See if there's anything in the log files when it fails, if so, attach
that information to the bug report.
If you want to get the ball rolling it's probably better to file a bug
directly upstream. See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78691
for an example.
(Dropping debian-devel from reply as it isn't really on-topic, you could
try debian-user if you need further help)
Hope this helps,
