Networking :: any of these wireless cards works with dsl?

All these cards are PCI for desktop.
I went and bought a D-Link DWL-G510. Tried in DSL setting utility to make it work, it does not work out of the box. I have not tried ndiswrapped. This is critical application where I can not afford more than 10-15 minutes downtime, so idea is to throw in any old box and boot in DSL.
It works with Ubuntu 6.06, but I could not make it work in Xubuntu.
For this app I would prefer DSL because it is lighter.
