As stated above, it is in the staging directory for kernel 3.16. As I do not speak for Ubuntu, I have no idea when it will be available for you.
For some reason, this bug report jumps from comment #40 to #73. In #66, I posted a link for a 64-bit kernel that had this driver built in. For completeness, the link is http://www.lwfinger.com/realtek_drivers/linux-image-3.13.9_1.1_amd64.deb. The firmware is at http://www.lwfinger.com/realtek_drivers/rtl8192eefw.bin.
FYI, kernels implementing this driver are available for several other distros!
