Title:
  12.04 missing rtlwifi/rtl8188efw.bin when HWE is installed

Status in “linux-firmware” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “linux-firmware” source package in Precise:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  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.

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

  12.04:

  /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192cfw.bin
  /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192cfwU.bin
  /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192cfwU_B.bin
  /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192cufw.bin
  /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192defw.bin
  /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192sefw.bin
  /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8712u.bin
  /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8723fw.bin
  /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8723fw_B.bin

  13.04:

  /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8188efw.bin
  /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192cfw.bin
  /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192cfwU.bin
  /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192cfwU_B.bin
  /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192cufw.bin
  /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192defw.bin
  /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192sefw.bin
  /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8712u.bin
  /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8723fw.bin
  /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8723fw_B.bin

  [Regression Potential]
  This adds the missing firmware file.
