Can anyone help me in the simplest of terms, try to figure out how to get my D-Link DWL-G510 wireless network card to work with Ubuntu? I'm an above average home user with windows and I don't know squat about Unbuntu and Linux. All the internet info I found on the subject seems way over my head.

From http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/List#D ========================================== # Card: D-Link DWL-G510 * Chipset: Marvell W8300 * pciid: 11ab:1fa6 * Driver: http://www.asus.com.tw/support/download/item.aspx?ModelName=WL-138G * Driver: The asus driver hasn't worked for me. Instead, I used the WinXP driver on the CD. Its available at ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Wireless/dwlg510/Drivers/dwlg510_driver_100.zip * Other: Works with WEP and WPA with TKIP cipher. May need iwpriv wlan0 ndis_reset when changing essid. * Other: Dlink driver has worked fairly stable on ndiswrapper 1.2 but is rock solid on ndiswrapper 1.5, at least for me. This was tested on Arch Linux, kernel 2.6.11 up to 2.6.14, SMP, PREEMPT, Pentium3, default stack settings. ndiswrapper 1.4 OOPses and locks hard, unstable, even with uniprocessor kernel. Only WEP was tested. # Card: D-Link DWL-G510 (Rev B) * Chipset: Atheros * pciid: 168c:001a * Driver: Version 1.0, Provided on CD. Version 2.11 from dlink.com also works. * Other: only WEP tested, works fine on 2.6.9 and 2.4.27. The short-named .conf file symlink was pointing to the wrong long-named .conf file - fixed manually. =========================================== Looks like you will have to use windoze drivers for that card. See which revision you have and follow the instructions on http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/Installation Bear in mind that doing it this way does not give you a fully functional wifi card, eg you wont be able to switch to monitor mode in order to get programs like kismet and airsnort to work....everything else should be fine though.

HOLY CRAP! That may as well be written in chinese! I think I'll just buy another wi-fi card that supports Linux. Thanks for the help. Jack
