Thanks to http://www.mendrugox.net I’ve been able to use the TP-Link TL-WN725N version 2 in the latest Raspbian 2014-01-07-wheezy-raspbian with kernel 3.10.25+. This was the procedure:
wget -O 8188eu_31024_614.zip http://www.mendrugox.net/downloads/14 unzip 8188eu_31024_614.zip sudo mv 8188eu.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless sudo chown root:root /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/8188eu.ko sudo mv rtl8188eufw.bin /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/ sudo chown root:root /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8188eufw.bin sudo depmod -a sudo modprobe 8188eu
Edit /etc/netwok/interfaces like this and add your networks SSID and password:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
allow-hotplug wlan0
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid "YOUR-NETWORK-SSID"
wpa-psk "YOUR-PASSWORD"
Then reboot your Raspberry Pi and it should connect to your wifi network automatically. You should see the wlan0 device when running ifconfig:
$ ifconfig
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr a0:f3:c1:14:53:ca
inet addr:192.168.2.121 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
