I managed to create a connection on my 7553 board, using the N13, but not when
the router was using 'WPA2-PSK' security.
I recommend you do what I did - start with the basics, at least manage some
connection.
I followed the precise instructions of
http://www.embeddedarm.com/wiki/index.php/WIFI-N-USB
I'd also recommend changing the USB slot. "...the middle USB slot" - there's an
'external' slot and 2 'internal' slots. The 'bottom' slot of the internals is
not connected to the bus (or at least not in my 2 boards).
You can check for the physical device in /sys/bus/usb/devices/...
" > cat /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1/idProduct" (or "idVendor")
just to be sure your 7553 recognizes the HW.
(excuse me if that's too basic or if you already did that)
I'm still interested regarding WPA.
