If the chipset is supported, then why it is loaded as ugen when I plug it on my laptop?

The EU on the end is very significant.  That variant is not supported at
the moment.  I have some (old) local mods that get the firmware loaded
but I was stuck on getting the interface actually passing packets.  It
is not just a matter of adding the USB id unfortunately, the method of
loading the firmware is not the same as the other 8192 chipset variants.
