Well, the kali linux page the OP mentioned says:
"These drivers are not part of the standard Linux kernel"
The kali realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms package probably just
downloads the driver from github and installs it for the running kernel.
Since the github projects do not refer to firmware files I assume there
are no special firmware files needed.
