Looks like someone needs to add a line to the driver that looks like:
MODULE_FIRMWARE("rtlwifi/rtl8188eufw.bin");

Sure, I will prepare and send one later (hopefully today), assuming no
one objects in the meantime. Thanks for quick response.

There will be no objections. All 8188eu-based devices need that firmware. Omitting the MODULE_FIRMWARE macro was simply an oversight.
