In all cases I was able to compile and install the driver successfully, but there's still no wireless adapter available on my system (even after reboot)

Might want to check bug reports for network manager if using that. I prefer conman myself as I had trouble with network manager in Debian based distros.
Network devices which are configured in /etc/network/interfaces will typically
be managed by ifupdown. NetworkManager respects such a configuration and will
ignore those devices and mark them as "unmanaged".
If you want to have a network interface managed by NetworkManager it is thus
recommended to manually remove any configuration for that interface from
/etc/network/interfaces. You need to restart NetworkManager afterwards via
"service NetworkManager restart".
I still don't have the adapter showing.
Also tested the dongle on Win computer and it works fine. Tried different USB ports too.
Bamboozled, not too experienced with this.
just to add
