I just bought USB Wireless Adapter but didn't know how to install it.
I've tried using lsusb and lshw -C Network before and after plug the USB.
Here's the output of lsusb.

It seems the difference is Bus 003 Device 031: ID 0bda:f179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. But the output of lshw -C Network is same.
