I do not think you missed anything, it is just a Bug.
I once started to try to make it work, but got distracted.
I look into it again. Strange thing, I installed Libreelec for
Testing on my RPI3 and even this did not recognized the Wifi device.
I am starting now with Raspbian to see what I am missing.
Hard to find an detailed information, which Linux kernel config
symbols are required and what firmware files need to be installed.
best regards
