I think it is a good idea to try packages from "stretch-backports" first [1] [2], because it looks like WLE600VX was produced a few years ago and should have already have support in linux kernel. So I highly doubt this NIC model requires latest Qualcomm firmware update, that was pushed into kernel.org source repository 9 days ago.
