I think it's supported. It's a Realtek 8187B adapter.  This is what lsusb shows:

Please explain. The subject says that Lenny doesn't recognize Realtek 8187 USB wirelss but the the list above does show it is recognized.

So what is it not doing?

Hi friends,

My newly installed Lenny doesn't recognize Realtek 8187 USB wirelss
adapater, even after running "modprobe rtl8187". Am I missing some
settings in the /etc?

Best regards,

Maybe the chipset is not supported by the Lenny kernel and you have to
install a newer kernel.  What does 'lsusb' print?
