well, .config contains

so the driver is built.

and dmesg contains
> usb 3-2: new high-speed USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd
> usb 3-2: New USB device found, idVendor=0b05, idProduct=17ba

so the device is recognised (at USB level).

The module 'rtl8192cu.ko' isn't loaded as expected, however.

Perhaps it wasn't installed correctly - the USB id should have an entry
in /lib/modules/3.16.7-21/modules.alias of the form 'alias
usb:v0B05p17BAd*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* rtl8192cu'
('grep usb:v0B05p17BA /lib/modules/*/modules.alias' should show it)

If the entry is missing, it must appear after the alias file is
regenerated (with 'depmod -a').

If it's there, but the module is still not loaded when you plug the
device, please try to load it manually (with 'modprobe -v rtl8192cu
debug=5') and check dmesg again.

Cheers
Anders
