Assuming you are talking about the wifi module of the Allwinner H3
based Orangepi2 as shown here:
http://linux-sunxi.org/images/9/96/Xunlong_OrangePi2_front.jpg
Then we are talking about a realtek sdio wifi module, not usb but sdio!
These wifi modules are not supported at all by upstream kernels atm.
The path to getting these supported is:
1) Find the latest out of tree code for them
2) Get it to build and work with mainline
3) Get it added to staging
4) Clean it up, clean it up more, clean it up even more
5) Repeat 4
6) At one future point hopefully the driver can be moved from staging
to drivers/net/wifi
Good luck with this!
Regards,
Hans

I agree with Larry that the way you express yourself in your communications
is not really helpful. Please remember to be excellent to each other.
