How to configure a USB 802.11b key (wireless dongle)

[Derick Centeno]

I'm not at all sure I'm interpreting your information correctly.  But  
it may be that although you have the source for 2.6.10 you may not have  
compiled the source nor have selected those other kernel options which  
make and allow the advanced kernel to use the new features or options  
it offers beyond 2.6.8 (which could include the drivers, etc. to run  
the devices you are interested in.  Remember that if you don't select  
the options for those drivers before the kernel is actually built the  
kernel will and can build itself -- after invocation, to do so of  
course, only with standard settings).
