yes .. most any usb will work under *nix

you just need to have the usb drivers for the usb controller
on your mb
	lspci | grep usb

	- check the kernel options against the lspci output

but your kernel supports the usb controller

says your kernel does not support FAT16

since it finds the fat16 partition you do NOT have a usb problem
