Seems you have had bad luck. Most wifi devices work well with Linux these days, of course assuming you have installed the right drivers / firmware, and that they are not blocked by the firmware which seems to be the issue in this thread.
When it comes to usb adapters, the vendors have a tendency to do very evil things. In the past I have needed usb_modeswitch to be installed to make things work, but YMMV.

Thank you, it's an USB device. Installing usb_modeswitch (and a restart) didn't change anything. For a vanilla install of Ubuntu the USB adapter's LED will flash, it doesn't for Arch Linux. I don't want to capture this thread. If needed I'll open a new thread, when I again start to get it working with Arch Linux. Regards, Ralf
