Not working for me. Can you reflash Ubuntu and make rtl8192cu work again? Make sure you take notes the steps.

I don't think the firmware-linux package contains any wireless adapter firmwares.

True. I cannot find any wlan0 or rename7 as wifi interfaces.

@loboris: awesome trying it now. I will update you. What distro and architecture are you using (should it matter)? And yes I don't have the wifi kernel module loaded. That's my problem :-)... I assumed that if the module wasn't loaded it must not be being built but clearly that was an incorrect assumption -- sounds like you've got that covered so must be an issue on my end.

I'm running the script on Ubuntu 15.04 64bit, but it should run on any Ubuntu/Debian distribution, you only have to install debootstrap and qemu-user-static packages.
It should run also on OPI, see "If running on ARM (OrangePI)" comment in create_image script.
After building check the *.log file for any errors (some may be ignored).

EDIT: it worked

I was overwriting the default kernel with the one from your vivid tarball. That got me this error:

Got: Usage: exec run-init [-d caps] [-c consoledev] /real-root /sbin/init [args]
then kernel panic.

When I used the opi-plus kernel in the OrangePi-BuildLinux image it worked...

Loboris,
