I'm not an wifi expert and so I can have done some mistakes here below.
wl0084a
=============
grep -rin wl008 drivers
give no result on kernel 3.2-rc6.
What is the normal approach to take in account?
I have to immediately change the usb wifi dongle due to the lacking of
information to develop e proper driver or maybe
there is some possibility?
Here I can find Logilink drivers
http://www.logilink.eu/content/support/download.htm?seticlanguage=en
They confirm support for LINUX (kernel 2.6.18 ~ 2.6.33)
Looking into drivers files ... yes , they are proprietary.
Some of the Logilink devices have Realtek chips. If this is a USB device,
please post the output of 'lsusb'. If it is PCI, post the output of 'lspci
-nnv' - we only need the part that describes the wireless device.

Bus 002 Device 004: ID 0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
If that device is Rev 1, it uses driver r8192e_pci. If it is Rev 10, then it
uses rtl8192ce. Both drivers are in the kernel since 2.6.38, and should just
work if your kernel is new enough.
