It is an USB WiFi dongle, which also provides information (probably using a separate USB endpoint) whenever it receives (or sends) a WiFi deauth frame.

In Linux (including OpenWRT-based routers), that functionality could simply be added to wpa_supplicant (https://w1.fi/cgit/hostap/tree/wpa_supplicant) (if not already added, I haven't checked).  Basically, it's only a little bit of additional code to the deauthentication code path.
