Yes, I'm using them too (Beside that it always saying "brought up 
sucessfully", also in the case it failed). What firmware version do you have? 
Since I upgraded to 1.1.2 + 1.5.6 it works with the usb ... filesystem 
enabled. This way it works also with my SuSE default kernel.
But I have no problem with loading the modules, it's always done automatically 
(maybe an issue with the usbfs?, I don't remember how it was with older 
firmware). Do you have the alias wlan0 prism2_usb entry in modules.conf?
