You missed some important steps we've already written, man.
First try this, then we'll see what about 'rtl8192su.ko & Co.'
Don't break lines.
1. Check whether you have installed the necessary firmware
$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8712u.bin
linux-firmware-20141013-41.git0e5f6377.fc20.noarch
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2. Create udev rules file
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-modprobe-r8712u-for-FR-300USB-WiFi.rules
#
# 07d1:3304 D-Link System FR-300USB 802.11bgn Wireless Adapter
# Load the module for unsupported device after creating devices
#
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idVendor}=="07d1",
ATTRS{idProduct}=="3304", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe -v r8712u"
#
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3. Create service unit configuration file
/etc/systemd/system/FR-300USB-WiFi-ID-to-r8712u.service
[Unit]
Description=Append FR-300USB WiFi ID to rtl871x wireless lan driver
[Service]
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c '/bin/echo 0bda 8171 >
/sys/bus/usb/drivers/r8712u/new_id'
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What's the score?
$ cat /sys/bus/usb/drivers/r8712u/new_id
$ dmesg | grep r8712u

I will keep these steps for reference.
My wifi dongle broke when it dropped to the floor.
Will be getting another one as it is so dirt cheap.
