The only two drivers supporting the realteck chipsets are
/lib/modules/2.6.34.7-56.fc13.i686/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtl818x/rtl8187.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.34.7-56.fc13.i686/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtl818x/rtl8180.ko
Your chipset is not one of them

Your chipset is the 8188S which is supported in the
unsupported staging driver rtl8192su

So, you you need to do is

00   rpmdev-setuptree
01   yumdownloader --source kernel
02   sudo yum-builddep kernel-2.6.34.7-56.fc13.src.rpm
03   cd ~/rpmbuild/SRPMS
04   rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.34.7-56.src.rpm
05   cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS
06   rpmbuild -bp --target=`uname -m` kernel.spec
07   cd ../BUILD/kernel-2.6.34.fc13/linux-2.6.34.1686 <<< On your system 
it might have a trailing .PAE
08   cp /boot/config-`uname -r`  .config
09   make oldconfig
10   make xconfig
11   in the config GUI, scroll down until you see Staging Drivers
        on the left hand side column. Click the little square to enable it.
12   now on the right hand side, top half, scroll down until you see
        RealTek RTL8192SU Wireless LAN NIC driver
13   Click in the square on it's left so that a black dot appears 
(meaning build the load module)
14   Now click File -> Save   OR  just click on the image of the floppy 
below the Option tab.
15   Quit the GUI
16   time make all
17   su make modules_install install
18   sudo vi /etc/grub.conf  to be sure that your default boot is the 
kernel you just built.
        if not, make it so.
19   save and quit
20   reboot
21   Good luck. Post here if your kernel now recognizes your USB wifi stick.
