I suppose I could got through the exercise of upgrading to the 2.6.36 kernel.
I'm not having too much luck building drivers that haven't been incorporated

compiling. I'd rather not waste a week trying to build a driver when I should
be able to buy a dongle that already has drivers in the mainline.
