I bought this REALLY cheap little USB wlan controller by MSI.

I'm trying to figure out the chipset to see if I can find a driver for
it, but USB won't even activate the device:

Maybe the USB cable is bad?
I tried it on several motherboards and both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels, so I'm
sure it's device specific. From the kernel mailing list, it seems that
these kind of errors are not uncommon, but that still gets me nowhere.
Is there any other way I can find out the hardware ID or the chipset
manufacturer? The company seems to be unresponsive.
