[    2.344803] usb 1-1.3: new high-speed USB device number 5 using dwc_otg
[    2.437311] usb 1-1.3: New USB device found, idVendor=043e, idProduct=3001
[    2.437321] usb 1-1.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[    2.437325] usb 1-1.3: Product: Remote Download Wireless Adapter
[    2.437329] usb 1-1.3: Manufacturer: Broadcom

^ there is no linux driver for this chipset; throw it out (or return it if you can) and get something something else

Really? Dmesg says otherwise

All that is saying is that the USB device has been recognized. The kernel has no idea, based on the ID, on what driver to use.

As @chewitt said "^ there is no linux driver for this chipset"

Replace it, or use the onboard. I've got working USB dongles from ebay (from China) and they work fine. You just have to be lucky or better, selective on what to buy.

You can either wait to see if the chipset is eventually included into the mainline kernel (unlikely), compile the kernel yourself (painful) or just get one that just works on linux. (an easier option)

^ in this context "recognised" means the kernel can see there is a USB device attached, but because there is no driver in the kernel (because no driver exists for this chipset) nothing more happens.
