TP-Link and others have this, and does not seem to work on 0.12.0.
A solution is given at: raspberrypi/linux#764

Solution is to run

sudo wget https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu/raw/c83976d1dfb4793893158461430261562b3a5bf0/rtl8188eufw.bin -O /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8188eufw.bin

Should work in nightly but did not test.

Proper solution is actually to use linux-firmware. On jessie that would mean (as non-free is already included in apt sources)

sudo apt-get install firmware-realtek
