Getting an RTL8192 worrking

I'm a little surprised it doesn't actually.  I've got half a dozen of them, in a Pi they just work.  Garden variety USB wifi adapter, comes in big or small depending on the antenna size, $4-15 on eBay.

ifquery --list shows only lo

A cell phone is my only internet connection, through the wifi hotspot.  So I can't just apt-get anything yet.  I can mount the SD in a reader on a Pi and get things on and off that way.  The firmware seems to be there.

I have an interfaces file that generally works fine under Debian consisting of
Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
  wireless-essid Moto_lte
that didn't work, the stock one didn't work.
