Umm, the WUSB54GC is not a "wireless USB" adapter.  It is a USB WiFi
adapter.  If you're looking for wireless USB then it is the wrong
device.

If you are looking for a suitable wifi adapter, then that device
should work, but if you can go with a PCI or a miniPCI WiFi adapter
instead then you should get better performance.  The 5200 only has USB
1.1.

I'm having good success with an Atheros miniPCI adapter at the moment
using a 2.6.28 kernel.
