I stopped using Linux on my N505VE a few months ago so I can't look up
the file anymore (the power input socket broke!!!) Here is where you
can look it up for the N505VE, it might work on the R505EL too.

Yes, and you do need to get pcmcia working on the N505VE. I don't know
about your specific model (does it have an internal drive?). I just
know I'm never buying Sony stuff again to run Linux!
