I guess if you see this you solved your problem or you are on window$.
Did you look at:
http://wiki.debian.org/rtl819x

That describes how to set it up.


It seems you're rong since this driver is not reported to be supported in squeeze (requires linux > 3.0, etc.).
Wiki's explaination are valid only for wheezy.  Hence, a squeeze user must use testing and unstable repositories to get fresher packages, this procedure is not described on the wiki.



Ah, you are running squeeze.
But I see no reason that the wiki procedure can't be followed for squeeze:

1. Install firmware-realtek, unzip and wireless-tools for squeeze
2. wget ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Wireless/dwa130_revC/Drivers/dwa130_revC_drivers_linux_006.zip 
3. unzip dwa130_revC_drivers_linux_006.zip
4. su
   mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/firmware/RTL8192U
cp rtl8192u_linux_2.6.0006.1031.2008/firmware/RTL8192U/* /usr/local/lib/firmware/RTL8192U
That copies the firmware. Then a reboot should load r8192e_pci, or modprobe it. 

No dependency in wheezy.
