This is not included in the mainline Linux kernel, an installation procedure is
available on the Debian Wiki [2].  If using linux-wlan-ng provides support for
your device, please let the list know.  I don't see vendor/product ID 107B:55B2
being listed as supported however.

Alternatively, you can attempt to use NDISwrapper with the NDIS driver provided
by the vendor [3].
