Yeah, the r8188eu driver that comes with the ubuntu kernel should work.
If you do 'modinfo r8188eu | grep alias' does it have the following line?
alias: usb:v0BDAp8179d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in*

Great. One more question, can you reply with the output of (assuming the
device it is using is wlan0):
cat /sys/class/net/wlan0/device/modalias
With that should be able to tell if the r8188eu that Ubuntu includes
will notice the device.
