Is that USB? Then try with lsusb command and check by yourself (by reading the output) if there is EDUP ep-n8508 (rtl8192CU) listed or not. People on this list are interested in the vendor-id and product-id/modell-id. In my case it is: 168c (vendor-id) and 1014 (product-id). $ lspci -nnvv | grep "Ethernet controller" | grep Atheros 02:02.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC [168c:1014] (rev 01) "Full dmesg" means give us the output from the very first lines where your kernel boots up, not truncated or extracted.
