I confirm that "TL-WN725N(US) Ver:3.0" worked for me on NetBSD 9.1 on
RPI2.

dmesg says it's v2 and EU while the product label says it's 3.0 and US. As
Michael pointed out the vendor:product id is same for both.

That apart, it's working fine.

urtwn0: Realtek (0xbda) 802.11n NIC (0x8179), rev 2.00/0.00, addr 4
urtwn0: MAC/BB RTL8188EU, RF 6052 1T1R, address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

Unfortunately neither the seller on amazon nor the manufacturer could tell
anything about the exact version they are selling. The product pictures on
the site are detailed enough just excluding a white sticker on which the
version is printed. They said you'll know only when you receive the
product... I just took my chances and it worked.
