I noticed that - you said your dongle was "detected" - not sure whether
you meant found by lsusb (device found in dmesg) or that you got the
firmware loading message in dmesg (device found *and* firmware loaded).
I don't currently have a dongle to test - but I recall a loading message
in dmesg as the firmware is installed.

Probably firmware-realtek *and* your kernel - I'd try and rule out
problems with the module first (rmmod then insmod, and look for errors)
and I'm presuming you got no dmesg errors with the kernel.

Maybe.... sorry, but I really don't know whether your problem is the
driver, the kernel, or perhaps udev (I suspect it's a kernel problem) -
but it could be just an issue with that particular dongle's
implementation of the chipset.

firmware-realtek_0.28+squeeze1_all.deb (and 0.32 from backports) worked
out-of-the-box.
kernels are (fairly stock) 2.6.32-5x's

Then perhaps it is the kernel (or udev). I don't currently have a dongle
to test and my experiences are with Squeeze. I'm assuming you're running
Unstable.
