I bought a wifi adapter for my raspberry pi, but I have problems making work on raspberry pi.
I tested it on a PC running Ubuntu. It has exactly the same behavior, as follows:
When inserted,

I expected to see a wlan0, but it doesn't appear. I tried lot of ways to make it work, but still without success.
Would like to hear how can I solve the problem. The goal should be to connect to a router with username and password and get internet.
Where should I start? Maybe the drivers is the problem?
