The wifi adapters have a page of their own linked in that one, and if you check that page you'll see a couple of (slightly conflicting) reports about the TL-WN725N.I would not trust the one about 'manual driver installation' as this person seems to have made an incorrect assumption about what model numbers correlate to what driver. TP-LINKs 150Mbps wireless N Nano USB adapter, TL-WN725N allows users to connect a desktop or notebook computer to a wireless network at 150Mbps.

If not, try modprobe 8192cu and see what that says (if it says nothing, run lsmod again and check).

If so, the dongle has been detected and is ready to use, try iwconfig and you should see somewhere in there: wlan0 unassociated Nickname:'' While it's plugged in, try lsmod | grep 8192 and you should see it listed. The driver for this is the 8192cu driver, which should be bundled with the kernel whatever distro you are using. So don't do that, it could lead to grief. Beware that if you plug this dongle in while the pi is running, it will kill the power momentarily - causing an unclean shutdown and a reboot. Since it identifies itself by chip manufacturer and model number. It will be listed like this: Bus NNN Device NNN: ID 0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
