Great adapter, terrible cable
The included USB 3.0 docking cable lacks the 5th pin that appears standard in my other 3.0 cables. The issue seems common if you search the model number for issues and I have yet to hear back from the manufacturer regarding the issue.
Nevertheless, a single $5 6ft extension cable was all I needed for simple plug n play functionality on a Linux Kernel 5.3 with the mt76x2u driver. No issues further issues with my wireless network experiments.
If you run into any issues at first, just check `journalctf --catalog ---pager-end --priority=4` or `journalctf -xep4` for shorthand and dmesg works as well. Any issues will immediately show up on your system's log, just grep for anything containing 'usb 3'
