There are more than several ways to use wifi right now, I haven't used 
them all.  
https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/HowToUse

We should probably add the networkd that is built in to systemd now.  I 
haven't used it, and don't really have documentation handy.  The best I 
have found is man systemd-networkd I will probably get around to it 
someday. 

I have a similar device, pretty good, requires no firmware but weak 
scanning compared to others.  Mine is an old, old Netopia rt2500usb 
dongle.  I've used it with ifupdown, and also with networkmanager 
(needs wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=0) and it's okay.  Not my favorite.

Basically, I have only used three methods, ifupdown, wpa_cli, and 
networkmanager.

They all really have different uses, depends if you need a mobile 
solution? need a gui? use vpn?  Will the connection always be up?

This kind of question is like saying, "What topping should I put on my 
pizza?"

Try
        rfkill list

and see if something is blocked. Use rfkill to unblock it

Try
        iwconfig

to see if interface is available and use iwconfig to power up.

Thank Deloptes!
i've tried "rfkill list", it says no to both hard and soft blocked 
my energy  is limited and i'll try other methods later on.
