sarge net install with WUSB11 v2.8

[Kevin Murphy <murphy2@speakeasy.net>]

I'm trying to install sarge onto a laptop with a Linksys 802.11b USB 
network adapter (model WUSB11 v2.8).  The installer doesn't identify the 
adapter.  I've seen reports that the "atmel" driver works with this 
adapter. 

How would I go about doing an install?  I'm a debian newbie but I'm fine 
with compiling things, etc.  I do have the ability to create floppies, 
cd's, and/or do prep work on my desktop debian system.

Thanks,
Kevin Murphy

P.S.  I also have access to a US Robotics USB network adapter (model 
USR1120, which supposedly uses the prism2 driver), and a US Robotics 
PCMCIA card (model USR2410), which also uses a "Lucent/Orinoco/Prism2" 
driver.
