The marketing name doesn't necessarily reveal what hardware it actually is.
So it is difficult to answer your question.

I found that

V1 = 0bda:8176 RTL8188CUS
V2 = 0bda:8179 RTL8188EU
V3 = 0bda:8179 RTL8188EUS

either should be recognized, but since V2 and V3 have the same ID, there
might still be a problem.
