Wifi- dongle

[User 15552]

OK, a tip.  On another (linux) computer lsusb,, note (write down)
vendor id:product id  (nnnn:NNNN) for usb wifi dongle
On pbp, cd /lib/modules
grep -r NNNN *
If you get nothing,, not supported
Yes, I know this doesn't really help buying a new one,
you have to read ad very closely, you can look in modules.alias,
using search, for specific chipsets

Thanks for the feedback: I got  `Realtek RTL8188CUS` with id nnnn:7811 
I then check for the modules and get the following: 

Code:

4.4.210/modules.alias:alias usb:v7392p7811d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* rtl8192cu
Binary file 4.4.210/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rockchip_wlan/rtl8723ds/rtl8723$
Binary file 4.4.210/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rockchip_wlan/rtl8822be/8822be.$
Binary file 4.4.210/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rockchip_wlan/rtl8192cu/rtl8192$
4.4.213/modules.alias:alias usb:v7392p7811d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* rtl8192cu
Binary file 4.4.213/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rockchip_wlan/rtl8822be/8822be.$
Binary file 4.4.213/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rockchip_wlan/rtl8192cu/rtl8192$

It appears that the `rtl8192cu` driver is for the rtl8188cus dongle. 

So what happens when I plug it in is the following: 
-- for a second or two everything is fine
-- then the mouse cursor stops and everything freezes
-- nothing works and I have to reboot by pressing the off button for a bit

Is there a way for me to check what happened, e.g. what error message caused the freeze ?

Edit: When booting with the dongle plugged in. I am stuck on a black screen.
