That depends on your distro, but please look at the output of the dmesg command
to see if there is an error loading the firmware.
You also need to install rfkill and look at the output of 'rfkill list'. If you
have another wireless device that is being hard blocked, or if there is a soft
block active, then rtl8192cu cannot work.
Note that the device works on my system. There should not be a problem with the
driver on your device once we clean up these questions. Once the device gets the
proper firmware and the RF is unblocked, the LED will light.
