I don't know how to make it work; when i plug it in, dmesg shows its connection and loading but no complaints about firmware or drivers. There's no character device in /dev/ so i can't open it with mpv, but at least on the back of the package it came from does mention "Linux support" so for the non-free kernel there is a way to use it. I'll assume it works. If there is interest, give more details so i can test it further.
