I use these cards in DSL, they work very well for me.
The MN730 ( PCI version ) uses the same driver,
and also works flawlessly with ndiswrapper using this driver.
Here are the steps I use to make it go..
1. Insert card into pcmcia slot.
2. Power up and boot into DSL. - goto desktop
3. Access the ndiswrapper utility in DSLPanel
4. Line one - path to file - /home/dsl/mn720-ankh.inf
( be sure the bcmwl5.sys file is in the same location,
and add both filenames to your /home/dsl/filetool.lst for backups.)
5. Line two - device - wlan0 ( works for me )
6. Line three - sid - Check your wireless router setup for this.
( The linksys routers usually default to 'linksys' )
7. Line four - wep - I use 128 wep, it's 13 hex pairs, separated by colons.
8. Press OK ..
By this time, I see lights flash, and I can open up firefox, and be online.
No other utilities needed..
Once successful, you can find a file in /opt called myndis.sh .
Add this filename to your /home/dsl/filetool.lst for backup purposes.
Add the line /opt/myndis.sh to your /opt/bootlocal.sh file
to have it autostart at boottime.
If your having any other issues, best check your router config.
This works consistantly for me.. I have 4 of the MN7** cards..
2 PCMCIA, 2 PCI , all good.
