          Now that I've had a chance to reflect what you've written in 
LinuxQuestions.org, I realise that your driver seems to be working.  I 
would suggest that the problem lies in configuring it to match your 
Access Point.  My AP is channel 10 but I had to set my TL-WN321G to 
channel 11 for it to work.  That and setting a static IP address.  I 
haven't got DHCP working over the adapter yet.  There was a third point 
but I've forgotten what is was.  Given time, it will come to me.  In the 
meantime, try those two points.
