Networking :: Wireless Access with DSL



I think someone here has made a .dsl for the 2200 drivers. Try a search on this forum site for that thread. Also, and this is interesting, Intel actually has drivers for the IPW2100 for Linux:

I have the same D-link PCI card ) DWL-520+.

I have tried many different methods for several weeks without success.

BTW, I managed to make it work in Puppy Linux with ACX100 drivers that were specific to Puppy Linux kernel. But I would prefer to use DSL. Are there any drivers specific for DSL? Can someone make some?

I would greatly appreciate any help to make this work.

Thanks,

There seems to be very good help on the DLink DWL-520+, which uses the TI ACX chipset, here:

I don't really have the time to go through it all, but the instructions look quite clear.

I must admit it's a shame this wireless stuff is so hard to get working under Linux. I'd really like to switch over - every time I get another virus in Windows, I vow to switch to Linux, spend hours fiddling around with it, and then find it's quicker just to re-install Windows - until the next time! One day!

So I'll start a new topic with the DSL wireless challenge!
