I have just bought a Realtech wifi dongle. Not only does it not work,it

Perhaps it isn't supported by your distro's kernel. What module does it
require? What kernel version? Certainly looks like your system doesn't have
a midule for it. Try some googling with the vendor:product ids.
Module appears to be rtl8092ce. It is in the distro & can be loaded with
modprobe along with 4 others but I guess it then has to be activated.
Should be loaded at boot but which file do I modify for this please?
TIA
The system is Mageia 1.
lsusb shows it as follows:
Bus 003 Device 012: ID 0bda:8178 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
--------------------------------------
Hardware probe lists it under Scanners& gives the following:
Identification
Vendor: 802.11n WLAN Adapter
Description: 802.11n WLAN Adapter
Media class:
Connection
Bus: USB
Bus PCI #: 3
PCI device #: 17
Vendor ID: 0x0bda
Device ID: 0x8178
Misc
Module: unknown
--------------------------------------------
After plugging it in I get the following msgs from /var/log /messages
Dec 26 15:11:36 TheBox kernel: usb 3-2: new high speed USB device using

Dec 26 15:11:37 TheBox mtp-probe: bus: 3, device: 20 was not an MTP device
Is this likely to be a faulty dongle?, missing software?, incorrect setup?
Any help greatly appreciated
TIA
