open a terminal window and enter
lsusb
then paste the output here. It'll tell us about the wireless chipset in the device. If it's atheros you may be in luck. If it's broadcom you might be out of luck.

i am now editing this

what do I enter for dns name servers. And does the rest look right?

For your DNS servers, you put in the gateway IP, so 192.168.2.1 in your case.
That is assuming you have a wireless router.
Btw, I'm pretty sure 'broadcast' should be 192.168.2.255, not 179.168.2.255
I'm confused here though...Do you have a network cable plugged in? eth0 looks like a wired interface to me :/
If eth1 is in fact your wireless interface, you should have the following:
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.2.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.2.1
dns-nameservers 192.168.2.1
wireless-key 1A43*ACA30238*4D24F*88B1
wireless-essid belkin54g
If necessary change the last number of 'address' to something higher, otherwise you might get conflicts with eth0 (your other network interface)
