Is it a ISY IWL 2000 device? Then it could be supported by rtl8192cu:

<http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/isy-iwl-2000-n150-standard-wird-nicht-erkannt/#post-4641162>

Note:
you'll have to have to correct firmware in place as well. Either
you have to install a realtek firmware package (rtlwifi) for your
distro... Or download it manually (filename: rtlwifi/rtl8192cufw.bin
<http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git>)
and put it into the correct place (/lib/firmware/(rtlwifi))

Regards,
	Chr

You also need a kernel 2.6.39 or newer. If you have one older that 3.4, I would 
suggest using compat-wireless.
