Ralink rt5370 not working

It seems that wifi dongle Ralink Rt5370 cannot even be enumerated in PBox 1.1.3. I tried in both Pi1B and Pi3 and the device cannot be enumerated. In other Raspberry distros it works out of the box. any ideas?

edit
lsusb shows nothing
dmesg from both devices:

Hi,
you can upgrade the distro to the latest level. That might help.

strange.. I have positive testing results with such a wifi adapter.

Best regards Matthias

you mean pacman -Syu?

yes, but remember to remove /etc/resolv.conf and create a new one with a valid dns server entry.
There is a bug on the image with that file :-(
