    ^ 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)
