Hi sir,

I am from Singapore and currently our company is trying to install Prolink
WN2001 wireless adapter into Dell PowerEdge T20 with Centos 6.6 installed. I
am using https://github.com/chunkeey/rtl8192su for the driver.

The information I have as below:

That device is not an RTL8192SU. It is an RTL8188EU, which has a driver at 
http://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu.git; however, that version probably will 
not build on a kernel as old as 2.6.32. I try to allow a build for kernels as 
old as 3.0, but yours is quite a bit older.

Is there any reason that you cannot upgrade to a newer kernel? The driver you 
need was added to the kernel in 3.19.
