Those errors look as if the device was removed before unloading the driver. That 
is a known problem with the driver.

The firmware is available in the linux-firmware git repo, and should be in your 
distro's firmware package.

Only one version of the firmware has been published. The md5sum output is

943e9b714a926e630b8152d7aad91d2e  /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192cufw.bin.

Please reboot your system, try to connect, and then post your entire dmesg 
output at pastebin.com. Report the link here.
