Please explain how you got it working in Ubuntu. Was it auto-detected or did you have to build the driver? Details please.

It's possible to also build it in Puppy.

I have the small version of this adapter and it never worked very well.

it did NOT auto-detect on 16.04. I followed instructions here and rebooted and was detected.
