This got me on the path to success, I needed to copy the rtlwifi folder inside the git (linux-firmware/rtlwifi/*) to /lib/firmware (/lib/firmware/rtlwifi/*) for my wifi dongle (Edimax ew-7811un).
Lots of messing around with the /etc/network/interfaces file to get it to auto start wlan0 properly but I was able to successfully get a wifi ssh connection with no ethernet cable connected.
