I'm running 2.6.24 with Freescale's lite5200 as my base. I'm interested in
this USB adaptor for wireless USB, but my web search does not make me
confident that my effort will yield fruit.

Can anyone direct me to a good source outlining success stories with
wireless USB adaptors? At present I'm mesing with Linksys WUSB54GC and some
driver source from Ralink, but my cross-compile is not working.

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.
