The Kernel reported that the device is manufactured by Realtek with the Vendor ID=0bda, Product ID=8812. usb 1-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 usb 1-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=0bda, idProduct=8812 dmesg at the terminal got me this: usb 1-1.2: new high-speed USB device number 4 using dwc_otg I wasn’t disappointed though, because I didn’t expect the kernel to have the correct driver for this WiFi dongle and I most likely need to find the driver source code for this device which I need to compile against the kernel I’m running. No price for guessing what happened when I plug this dongle into my Pi 2. Something in my head tells me that I should plug this WiFi dongle into my new Raspberry Pi 2 so that I can run it wirelessly at 780Mb/s. In the real world, this doesn’t happen, of all the drivers available, none of them work for that very device you happen to own! This is what happened to me recently with one of my 802.11ac WiFi dongle, a cheap no-brand device, (and this equivalent), purchased for use with my notebook running Windows 7. In the ideal world, any USB devices you plug in to your Raspberry Pi will work instantly, somebody somewhere has it sussed out for you and kindly bundled the correct drivers with the distribution.
