I decided to just buy the device. It does not seem to work out of the box. This is the output of lsusb: http://pastebin.com/weWZJ6ZG
It seems to be a re-branded version of this device: ASIX AX88179. An Android/Linux drives seems to be available too. I will try that out later:

Final step: driver from hardware manufacturer compiles and works unter 12.10:
http://www.asix.com.tw/FrootAttach/d...SOURCE.tar.bz2
If others are also searching for infos how to build the driver:
sudo su
apt-get install linux-headers-generic
change Makefile to: KDIR = /usr/src/linux-headers-$(CURRENT)
make
make install
The driver is automatically loaded when the usb adapter is pluged in.
Strange, the driver compiled for me even without changing the makefile. You are right, that kernel headers have to be installed.
Could anybody help me how to install this driver onto a Synology DS209 NAS?
The driver has been updated to v1.3.0: http://www.asix.com.tw/FrootAttach/d...SOURCE.tar.bz2.
