The module 'rtl8192cu.ko' isn't loaded as expected, however. Perhaps it wasn't installed correctly - the USB id should have an entry in /lib/modules/3.16.7-21/modules.alias of the form 'alias usb:v0B05p17BAd*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* rtl8192cu' ('grep usb:v0B05p17BA /lib/modules/*/modules.alias' should show it) If the entry is missing, it must appear after the alias file is regenerated (with 'depmod -a'). If it's there, but the module is still not loaded when you plug the device, please try to load it manually (with 'modprobe -v rtl8192cu debug=5') and check dmesg again.
