Public bug reported:

A user with 12.04 + Trusty HWE to support RTL8188 is missing the
matching firmware since it is not included in the 12.04 linux-firmware
package; It is in the 13.04 and later packages.

modinfo $(awk '/10EC.*8179/{print $3}' /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.*) | grep ^firmware
firmware:       rtlwifi/rtl8188efw.bin
