Hi sir, I am from Singapore and currently our company is trying to install Prolink WN2001 wireless adapter into Dell PowerEdge T20 with Centos 6.6 installed. I am using https://github.com/chunkeey/rtl8192su for the driver.

That device is not an RTL8192SU. It is an RTL8188EU, which has a driver at http://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu.git; however, that version probably will not build on a kernel as old as 2.6.32. I try to allow a build for kernels as old as 3.0, but yours is quite a bit older.
Is there any reason that you cannot upgrade to a newer kernel? The driver you need was added to the kernel in 3.19.
