According to this list of compatible wifi adapters is should work (maybe not V3 though).
Using kmod-rtl8xxxu
the adapter shows up in Network -> Wireless list and can be configured, but it not able keep a stable client connection. It's constantly reconnecting.
Checking with dmesg | grep usbcore
I installed all the different kmod-rtl8192-xx
versions and only rtl8192cu-firmware
shows up in the list.
Grepping then for the firmware directly dmesg | grep rtl8192cu
does not show that a driver was loaded. The usbcore entry usbcore: registered new interface driver rtl8192cu
is the only output.
The device also doesn't show up in Network -> Wireless.
What can I try?
