For a long time, these cheap Chinese USB wifi adapters didn't work in Linux. Believe it or not, I wiped my old laptop's Linux partition and tried FreeBSD and OpenBSD just to see if they supported it - but they didn't either.
So I reinstalled Linux and eventually produced a patch back in June to add support for the device, but for whatever reason it was ignored.
Now, though, one of the maintainers has implemented a proper patch and it looks like the RF3070 will soon work out-of-box in Linux.
Yay!
