It is important to type commands precisely. There are spaces before the
dashes in the commands I provided, thus:
/sbin/ifconfig -a
dmesg | tail -100
The first one is the path to the "ifconfig" command executable
(/sbin/ifconfig) followed by the "-a" option (all). These are two words.
The second is two commands: the "dmesg" command, which shows the kernel's
message log and the "tail" command, which show the last few lines of a
file. By piping (the "|" symbol) "dmesg" output into the input of
"tail", and using tail's -100 option, we see the last 100 lines of the
dmesg.

Spaces. There is no "ifconfig-a" command. You need the "ifconfig"
command, then a space and the "-a" option.

Try the command with more precision.
I will be _very_ surprised if the kernel does not see you plug the
adapter in, even if it has not got a drive for the particular device; it
should see the USB activity.
