Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation? i plugged in the usb realtek adapter to my
pc hoping to connect to internet via wifi. But this device is not recognized.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

lsusb -d 0bda:f179 -v  ----------> shows the following

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bda:f179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188FTV

  iSerial                 3 002E2D5AF615
  bNumConfigurations      1

How ever "lshw -c network" does not show the wireless interface for this
device.
Device is not recognized. So, it can't be used for wifi connections.

   * What was the outcome of this action? Device not recognized
   * What outcome did you expect instead? Wireless network interface to show up
on my pc and enable me to connect to wifi network.

Hi

This bug was filed for a very old kernel or the bug is old itself
without resolution.

If you can reproduce it with

- the current version in unstable/testing
- the latest kernel from backports

please reopen the bug, see https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control
for details.

Regards,
Salvatore
