It looks like this device is supported in the latest ar9170usb driver. I can't really find in which kernel
release support for this device has been added, but I'm almost certain that this was after 2.6.32 had been
released (it is more likely that 2.6.34 is the first kernel release that supports your device).
In other words, the kernel version that you are testing with is simply too old to support the device.
I guess you need to upgrade to a later kernel version (or use compat-wireless).
