I installed WICD and magically the WLAN0 activated itself. Not sure what happened, but it works.

Thanks for the replies guys. I have done modprobe p54usb but it still does not activate the wireless. I will continue researching or consider buying an up to date usb adapter.

Do I need to navigate to a certain path or can I just open a fresh terminal and type modprobe p54usb?

I have an old Linksys WUSB54G adaptor that I am trying to connect with. I ran the code dsmeg | tail and it output the following:
