What's the hurry, Larry.
Let's see if Hans knows what type of this device is RTL8189ETV.
According to what is written here
http://linux-sunxi.org/Xunlong_Orange_Pi#Variants
http://www.orangepi.org/orangepi2
RTL8189ETV, whatever it is, is an integral part of some "O-Pi" variants.
About rtl8188etv can be read here
http://www.orangepi.org/orangepibbsen/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=25&highlight=wifi
but there is no mention of RTL8189ETV.
WikiDevi also returns nothing
https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Main_Page
"Search results
...
There were no results matching the query.
Create the page "RTL8189ETV" on this wiki!"
I'm trying to determine in advance,
what components are supported,
what components are not supported,
what components will never be supported,
what components will never be supported in mainline kernel.
Therefore, I can not show 'lsusb' output. :)
"Distro" is not decisive in this matter, moreover dunno what are you referring with "your distro".
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee not again!
