I'm pretty sure there's something broken on the board and wanted advice on confirming that and what to do next. thank you
i got a weird feeling that dongle is broken.
you could use command "lsusb" before and after inserting dongle to troubleshoot it. (may require package installation, probably "usbutils".) also "ip address" shows something, if usb device is detected.
