Are other Linux users able to "see" it?  The LHDB should tell you if it
works for others and what module/driver they use.  The product literature
should give you the USB vendor and product ID's which makes it easy to
search the LHDB.

Did you purchase from a reputable vendor?  Maybe counterfitters have moved
from SSD's to WiFi dongles.
