This is what dmesg tells me about the stick i am trying to put to work: usb 1-1.2: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 7 usb 1-1.2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice usb 1-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=1286, idProduct=1fab usb 1-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 usb 1-1.2: Product: 54M USB Wireless NIC usb 1-1.2: Manufacturer: Tenda..
