This might be a good bug report to consider
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1419341
Various respondents have suggested either a bios upgrade or possible
hardware issues. The person who posted the bug report used a USB
extension cord with his usb wifi modem, without success. I doubt that
the problem is hardware related, since your lsusb confirms the wifi's
existence.
Drivers and commands for your peripheral might be found in newer
kernels. The command 'uname -r' will give your computer's kernel
version. A newer kernel (I'm on 4.6.x, which is stable) can be compiled
independently or downloaded through repository. Google
'canonical-kernel-team' for instructions on how to use a ppa to obtain
newer kernels by repository.
Thanks,
Jordan

A verified PAU05 purchaser (Amazon) said he had success installing
Xubu with the PAU05, and a Panda-help tech (after my lament)
installed Xubu 14,04.4 on an in-house computer using the PAU05 and
was successful. Installing 14.04.4 on my dv7t seems to reset "1:
brcmwl-0: Wireless LAN" to "Hard blocked: yes", and that setting
was resistant to change on my computer.

Mt dv7t has no finger accessible Wifi switch, and the dv7t
continued to use the PAU05 while running W7. From dv7t:
tcb@dv7C:~$ rfkill list all
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: brcmwl-0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes <-------
2: phy1: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
Post the output of:
lsusb # in a Terminal
"brcmwl" looks like a Broadcom chipset. AFAIK they always need
firmware BLOBs.
Also might give you an idea what went wrong:
dmesg | grep -i wifi
----
My dv7t now boots into W7 and Mint 17.3.
