Not really anything to do. Plug it in, and away it should go. (as I note you've already mentioned it shows up in System Preferences, so it should be recognised). Did you hear the "click" when you plugged the Ethernet plug in. Also make sure that you have the adapter pushed in "firmly" (just enough to connect it, not enough to push it right through the port) ;o) You could also try restart with it plug in,…just incase. I've used quite a few of them with client machines and not had any fail straight out of the box and must admit I've not had any problems with them. (one client bought about 8 of them for their laptops).
