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.



Before:

Bus 003 Device 031: ID 0bda:f179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub


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