I don't think that's the right driver for the 2.6.
do yourself a favor and search here on that device name "wusb11", it's been a rather popular topic, and I've seen more than a few threads where the people got it going.
It looks like your Adapter uses the Atmel chipset (http://www.linux-wlan.org/docs/wlan_adapters.html). I haven't got the same adapter, but I have a usb adapter with the same chipset, so you should be able to follow the same instructions as I did.
thanks tddlard, the driver didn't work at first, but i fixed it and now it works fine ...i'm upgrading using the redhat update agent as we speak and i'm using mozilla firebird to post this!
