Give the list some logs to look at...
  

Here is the output of /var/log/messages after plugging in the wireless adapter:
Feb  3 18:57:47 localhost NetworkManager: <info>  Found radio killswitch rfkill0 (at /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-4/1-4:1.0/ieee80211/phy0/rfkill0) (driver <unknown>)
Feb  3 18:57:47 localhost NetworkManager: <info>  (wlan0): driver supports SSID scans (scan_capa 0x01).
Feb  3 18:57:47 localhost NetworkManager: <info>  Wireless now disabled by radio killswitch

Feb  3 18:57:47 localhost NetworkManager: <info>  (wlan0): now managed
Feb  3 18:57:47 localhost NetworkManager: <info>  (wlan0): device state change: 1 -> 2 (reason 2)
Feb  3 18:57:47 localhost NetworkManager: <info>  (wlan0): bringing up device.
Feb  3 18:57:47 localhost NetworkManager: <info>  (wlan0): deactivating device (reason: 2).

What does "reason: 2" mean? Does it mean that there is no driver?
