That documentation unfortunately does not answer the question, because many USB devices share the same chipsets and simply have manufactures relabel the packages with their name. Since that device was not specifically listed, that's not a really strong indicator one way or the other. Form working with various devices and various OS's, I'd estimate that the chances are good that it will work right out of the box. Try it and publish your results, so people like yourself can know whether it works! For all OS's, for laptops, deskops, or servers, I've carried a spare USB/Ethernet adapter for years in my toolkit for exactly the situations where a new network driver is needed to get the updates with new network driver in it at install time. And I keep replacing them because people won't give them back.....
