I have the same USB wireless thingy as you.
I use DSL 1.5 and DSL 2.1b, the USB thingy works just fine in both of those. I see you are using DSL 1.1. Consider upgrading if all else fails.
I open the DSL Panel
Click: Prism 2
device: wlan0
channel: 6
sid: yadayada
wep: i do not use wep
Click OK
It will then attempt to get a DHCP IP. Sometimes it is not successful on the first attempt, but it always works on the second attempt.
I have used WEP in the past, but there is another machine on my wireless network that refuses to use WEP. I am not to afraid of anyone snooping because of the location where I reside and lack of personal information being trnasmitted thru the air. I enable a MAC address list on my router to prevent MAC addresses that are not on the list from having access to the network.
At any rate, the D-Link USB thingy works great. That's theONLY D-Link piece of hardware that I have had that did.
EDIT: I just remembered that if I used a text WEP key vs. a HEX WEP key, I had better success. But have had success with both.
