xubuntu does not see wifi adapter. It is lsusb but not in ifconfig.
ifconfig

Look for drivers on the manufacturer's website.
If they are not there, alas, Linux does not support it (most likely it will).

Hmmm, so for Wi-Fi there is iwconfig.

Look for drivers for your Linux distribution. For archetypes, they are.
