External Wifi adapter?

Hello i have a raspberry pi zewro board. I also have a adapter from micro usb to full size usb. I also have a usb to Ethernet adapter I'm installing piratebox on it. I did all the updates on it But i would like to hook up my Wifi adapter on it So i was wondering If i plug it in will it see it or would i have to do something before to make it setup? I do not have a usb hub so I can not use multiple Usb devices. Can someone please help me out?

hello i finally got the piratebox working. I even can get SSH to work. I did have the wifi working But when i rebooted Wifi USB stop working. I don't know what to do i tried everything I even reimage the sd card and nothing can someone please help me? I know the adapter works because i can plug it into my laptop and it comes up. it is a tp-link wf2116 with a realteck chip set rt18192cu.

does it help to replug the usb stick ?
