lsusb -vvv output for wifi usb network interface

Please attach output files directly to the bug report, as I've done with the
lsusb output here. If the output is more than around 100 lines, the text file
should be compressed.

As a workaround, as root please make sure the package usb_modeswitch is
installed, then with the dongle plugged in, run (as root) the command
usb_modeswitch, to see if that works to fix the problem.

This is the lsusb -vvv output for the USB Wi-Fi dongle. The usbmodeswitch workaround doesn't seem to work.

I'm no expert, but I suspect the driver for it to be the issue.
