Not likely in the kmod-staging package - you may have to dig around on
the manufacturer web site - or google to see of anyone else is using
the same chipset and has a link to a driver.

With all these wifi devices it seems it is better to try and buy one
that has known support - though that comment will not help if you have
already bought a device with minimal/no support!

I had a fairly recent one but there was a manufacturer proprietary
linux support package - and that had the firmware file in it. You have
to put it in the right place and that is also not always obvious!

The best bet is to see if there is a proprietary linux support package
- and unpack it and poke around. If not then google for it - and if
that fails you may have to wait until one is made available... not
ideal I know.
