Hi,
I have USB wifi dongle which says "Tenda W326U" on its plastic cover, but
debian wheezy recognized it as:
"ID 148f:2878 Ralink Technology, Corp."
I tried to do "modprobe rt2800usb" but I didn't get anything with iwconfig or
ifconfig -a
Also, the strange thing is that usb-devices tells me it's a "storage" device? :)

Is there any way to make this thing work on my debian machine?
Thanks in advance.

I *think* this is a dual mode device, in which it initially behaves as
a storage device that contains the drivers (Windoze only
unfortunately). It is then put in wifi mode by the driver.
Under Linux this is achieved by the usb_modeswitch program.
Unfortunately I am away from home during the week, so I can only show
you some examples on how to do this in the weekend. Alternatively you
can google for usb_modeswitch or maybe some debian people can help you
with it.

There're a couple of packages in debian called "usb-modeswitch" and
"usb-modeswitch-data" that you can install. With those installed, my
3G modem dongle automatically gets switched to modem mode, after
being initially recognized as storage. Hopefully they'll do the trick
for your wifi dongle too.

This device is not supported until now by rt2x00 as I can't find the usb
id in the sources.
You may add it yourself and test it. Or if it doesn't work properly you
may take the driver from
http://www.ralinktech.com/en/04_support/support.php?sn=501
Most probably the rt5572 usb driver. Anyway, you have to add the ID
here, too.
Kind regards,
Andreas
