After you copied the module to /lib/modules/ did you run 'sudo depmod
-a' ? It doesn't look like the dependency info is there.

I grabbed the files from the tp-link site, and loaded it into a ubuntu
vm running 14.04.3. When I look at the module I see the following
dependency:

snitsel at ubuntu14-32:~$ grep 8188eu /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.dep
kernel/drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/r8188eu.ko:
extra/8188eu.ko: kernel/net/wireless/cfg80211.ko

which can also be seen with modinfo:

jsnitsel at ubuntu14-32:~$ modinfo 8188eu | grep depends
depends:        cfg80211


Did you install a new kernel recently? Because you are currently running
3.13.0-116-generic, and the module isn't in
/lib/modules/3.13.0-116-generic/ .

Have you tried using the r8188eu module that is provided by Ubuntu? You
can see it is there in that modules.dep output. I guess maybe that one
doesn't know the device ids for the TL-WN725N. It looks like it should
recognize it though.

Does 'dmesg | grep -i -e 8188eu -e rtl' give any output?
