Stephen,

I think that Poma finds it extraordinary that your device was working with a driver for a completely different chipset.  I know I do.

This should show the WiFi devices that are connected to the machine:
$ echo ; lspci -knn -d ::0280 ; echo ; lsusb ; echo ; lsusb -t ; echo

Would you mind copy and paste the output here.
