  I'm running Debian strech.
  I've got a WLAN USB stick and need firmware-realtek.


More details:

cat /etc/network interfaces
## shows:
## => auto wlx008733553e50
##    iface wlx008733553e50 inet dhcp
##    wpa-ssid my_wireless_accesspoint
##    wpa-psk 8346584816d9e1426382250f709575689208c8970e53111b54e75f13ba6352436

cat /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
## shows:
## => [main]
##    plugins=ifupdown,keyfile
##
##    [ifupdown]
##    managed=false

(I could also not get wlan working with NetworkManager)
