Also, I forgot to mention, that I recompiled the kernel with
"staging" enabled, and driver r8192u (u for usb) enabled.

after installing the new build and rebooting, I do not see
the driver getting loaded. So, I loaded it manually, but
still there is other wireless device other than my wlan0
for the mini-pci ralink module.

And I see why: because the device is not identifying itself
with the correct strings to trigger driver loading, and even with
the driver loaded, re-inserting the USB device still does not
trigger driver recognition of the device.

Is there a way I can set up an alias for it in the file
/etc/modprobe.d/dist.conf ? What would that alias be?
Again, lsusb shows
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 07d1:3304 D-Link System

Is there a way to create an alias that associated 07d1:3304 with 
r8192u_usb.ko ??

Cheers,

JD
