This is my mistake. I built the driver in Wary 522 in the belief that Wary 530 just had user-land improvements. But it also changed kernels.

I'll get back to you on this.

[Update] I went to BK's site where he keeps the kernel sources and I couldn't find k2.6.32.59 for Wary 5.3.

So your alternative is to use Wary 522.

Thanks much to all of you. I can now see the dongle from Network Wizard. Scan still will not detect my WLAN, so I still have a ways to go to get connected. Thanks again for all your help with the driver.
