Dmesg is not telling you much. Only that Linux is sensing something is plugged
in. Try:
lsusb -v
It may be more informative.
Also just because you have a device Linux will not automatically assign it to
an interface, except maybe on boot. That depends on system configuration. Files
like /etc/network/interfaces decide that behavior. Type:
man ifup
for more information.
I wish I could tell you more but I have never used an USB network adapter
myself.
