Depends what chip it uses, & whether your ARM7 kernel actually has a driver for it.

That looks like a Realtek RTL8192EU
I don't know if your Raspberry Pi linux from August 2017(!) supports it.

A web search for Realtek RTL8192EU linux turns up a number of links claiming to say that you can get drivers for that chipset.
I have no way of testing them. |

AFAIK, that one is in the kernel. There's some realtek module where you can compile in loads of those things and that's one of them. |
