Do not trash them. Please test the patches available at:

I know your problem well. I do have a bunch of not supported USB NICs
but also I've got a bunch of supported ones (mostly aue(4) based
ones). These are cheap, and are sold a lot. There's (AFAIK) just one
newer aue chipset which is currently not supported by aue(4) and is
giving some errors. I haven't been able to figure out what's wrong
with them.

When grabbing aue based USB NICs from an online source, the chances
are 3 out of 4 you're getting a supported one. But you should test
your USB200Mv2 using the patches first.
