Pedantic nitpick: the package firmware-realtek has firmware for various
Realtek devices. The drivers (some of which require said firmware) are
in the kernel.

And it looks like there is firmware in that package for the device in
question:

charles@hawk:~$ apt-cache show firmware-realtek | grep -i 8192eu
  * Realtek RTL8192EU Bluetooth firmware (rtl_bt/rtl8192eu_fw.bin)
  * rtlwifi/rtl8192eu_ap_wowlan.bin
  * Realtek RTl8192EU non-WoWLAN firmware (rtlwifi/rtl8192eu_nic.bin)
  * Realtek RTl8192EU WoWLAN firmware (rtlwifi/rtl8192eu_wowlan.bin)
charles@hawk:~$ 

So chances are pretty good Javier navarro altimira
<javiernavarroaltimira@gmail.com> will need it. Fortunately the driver
will select the correct firmware blob.
