Often provided kernels do have a lot of stuff disabled to save space and compile time (but it is a pain to recompile stuff manually with things you want actually enabled). I would prefer more drivers to be compiled as modules, just like other distros (i.e. Debian, Ubuntu, etc), are doing. The kernel itself will not grow that much, and you can fit all the modules from the kernel in around 170MB or so of space.
Also, if it is USB, what dmesg is showing after you plug it in?
lsusb ?
Yeha its pretty much what I figured, not there. I have two I was playing with and both give mostly the same message on plugging in.
[ 167.116397] ehci_irq: highspeed device connect
[ 167.338542] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 2 using sunxi-ehci
lsudb will show the devices
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0cf3:9271 Atheros Communications, Inc. AR9271 802.11n
