    For this adapter, according to Wireless Wiki [1], you should use
    universal driver "rtl8xxxu". See if it was loaded:
        $ sudo lsusb -t
    
    Check out the logs for relevant messages:
        $ sudo grep -iE "rtl|firmware" /var/log/syslog
    
    This should give you a hint about a firmware file needed for this
    adapter.
    Probably it is a good idea in general to install firmware package
    for Realtek-based devices from "non-free" section of Debian repos:
        $ sudo apt install firmware-realtek
