HI. I am very new to DSL and Linux in general. I am trying to get my DLink dwlg630 cardbus to work. I have tried to install the drivers with Ndiswrapper from the cdrom but it always fails. Downloads from dlink seem to be an .exe file that I cannot get access to the .inf files within. It is an older Dell laptop but everything else other than sound works great. I would appriciate some help on the subject as I cannot find a solution after many hours of trying and research.
Thank you

if you have access to a windows machine maybe install drivers to it(to a directory of your choosing if possible) then collect the .inf's onto a pendrive or floppy or even CD and port them over to the dsl box.

Thats how i'd likely skin the cat.

Thank you. I have already tried that. It turns out I cannot get the GWL630 to work. But the GWL 650 worked shortly with help of the madwifi.dsl package.
