Thanx for any helpful info.
Possible MediaTek MT7610U chipset, as is:

an if so, it is not an in-tree kernel module, so you can draw your own conclusion.
Rather read this:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/2015-January/457791.html
slower than the questionable in practice 5GHz "AC600" , but at least should work
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/ath9k_htc/devices
The seller finally got back to me:
"Thank you for your email
The product is RT5572 chip
Thank you"
So, web page http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters
says it is supported.
Apparently it is one of the drivers supported by the rt2800usb driver.
In the current updated kernel source, I find it in the file
BUILD/kernel-3.19.fc21/linux-3.19.7-200.fc21.x86_64/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/Kconfig
which has the following config line:
config RT2800USB_RT55XX
bool "rt2800usb - Include support for rt55xx devices (EXPERIMENTAL)"
---help---
This adds support for rt55xx wireless chipset family to the
rt2800usb driver.
Supported chips: RT5572
Since it is experimental, I suspect that I will face some problems.
