Hello,
I bought two of other seller, rtl8188 but I think it is not supported.
I have two problems. As soon as I connect it the raspberry inmediatly
reboots. I think it has something to do with some inrush current. In
raspbian also it reboots inmediatley.

Once the system reboots, it finds the dongle but cannot be configured:

I have googled and perhaps it is rtl8188FTV, I think it is not
supported by the driver.

Thanks.
