This is odd. I have an EW-7318UG dongle which I have tried in vain to run on F8.
When I configure it I get a whole list of devices non of which is this device.
If I do a lsusb I get: ID: 148f:2573 Ralink Technologies, Corp and I can't see
that mentioned either. What magic have you done to make it work?
