is it possible to build a driver that could be used on the tablet with this?

btw i have experiance with linux / android :)
Welcome, there isn't a lot of development ongoing in this forum. However, we have obtained many of the pieces needed to support such an effort. As this tablet is powered by an infoTMIC chip, we can leverage some of the experience already obtained by others making modifications. Specifically, _barsuk_ of xda-developers has posted his approach to modifying modding / customizing the ROM. He has added functionality for several 3G modems and seems to take requests given the proper information. There are a lot of threads dedicated to developing for the 10" infoTMIC tablets at xda-devlopers and you may find more of the resources needed to "getting a alfa AWUS036H to work on disgo 6000".

In addition, the Linux Kernel Source Code has been obtained by giveen which provides some insight to what is already supported and could be modified.

Keep us posted on any support needed.

Again, not a developer but based on the link you provided to the "AWUS036H Linux Kernel (2.6.x)" and comparing that to the recently obtained Linux Kernel Source Code a similar driver EXISTS in this folder - "C:\kernel_#4209\android-linux-2.6.32.9-union-release\drivers\staging\rtl8187se"! Now that's the end of my understanding if it's in the build installed on the tablet.

\alfa_AWUS036Husb_Linux_kernel.zip\Linux driver for kernel 2.6.X\rtl8187_linux_26.1025.0328.2007.tar.gz\rtl8187_linux_26.1025.0328.2007.tar\rtl8187_linux_26.1025.0328.2007\ReadMe.txt
Code:
Release Date: 2006-02-09, ver 1.2
RTL8187 Linux driver version 1.2

   --This driver supports RealTek RTL8187 Wireless LAN driver for 
     Fedora Core 2/3/4/5, Debian 3.1, Mandrake 10.2/Mandriva 2006, 
     SUSE 9.3/10.1/10.2, Gentoo 3.1, etc.
   - Support Client mode for either infrastructure or adhoc mode
   - Support WEP and WPAPSK connection
