	Linux wireless drivers depend on the chipset, not the actual product, so if we're going to have any hope of getting this wireless adapter to work on the SBC then we need to find out what chipset it uses. Alternatively, we can also find out which linux driver it uses, but this is sometimes a little bit more difficult to find directly. In my case, a quick internet search shows us that this particular wireless adapter uses the '''r8712u''' driver.
