I tried to post on the Ubuntu bugzilla, but the response was really slow and I gave up there.
The dmesg output you posted there involved using ndiswrapper, thus I did not see if the device was able to load the firmware. The specific file for that device is /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192cufw.bin. It is part of a kernel firmware package. I do not know what Ubuntu calls it.
