Is the device available to config ?
If it is can you try to connect and run dmesg ?

Ok
What you need to do is add these options to grub net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0
This will rename your wired ethernet port to eth0 and wifi to wlan0
This is an example of my grub line....do not copy.
linux /boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-62-generic root=UUID=17818cd8-a2fb-4f61-9c69-9d7f0c7058d7 ro quiet splash net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0 $vt_handoff init=/sbin/upstart
This page will show you how to modify grub
wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?The_Is..._Parameter_And_GRUB2
The problem seems to be the wifi firmware has an issue with the length of the wifi interface name.

Your screen dump displays a list of available networks. To me that says your USB is working and you just need to connect to your network with network password.....
