Hmm, the device list states only, that the Surecom 9001 _with the device
ids 1371/0002_ is supported by at76c503-rfmd. Blame Surecom for re-using the
same product name for some other hardware!

Your device seems to be supported by the wlan-ng driver:

$ grep 1201 *.c
prism2sta.c://  {PRISM_USB_DEVICE(0x0ace, 0x1201, "ZyDAS ZD1201 Wireless
USB Adapter")},
