I got "OURLiNK 802.11n" mini USB wifi adapter for my Raspberry Pi, but I also would like to use it w/ my Scientific Linux 6.1
$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Scientific Linux release 6.1 (Carbon)
$
when I insert dongle into USB port, I'm getting following in my log
Oct 18 11:16:28 X kernel: usb 1-4: new high speed USB device number 5 using ehci_hcd

I added a connection through: System->Preferences->Network Connections->Wireless->Add using Ad-hoc mode, I even did service network restart, yet I still don't see SSID from another wireless device.
I'd like to be able to configure NATing on my Linux so that other devices can use that connection to connect to Internet.
