ndiswrapper is a program that allows you to use Windows wifi drivers in Linux. DSL already has ndiswrapper and iwconfig.

Find the Windows drivers, either from the CD, or from the manufacturers web site. Put the files in your DSL home directory. The files have extensions like .inf and .sys.

Now, open the control panel. Click Ndiswrapper.

In this box, where it asks for driver or inf file or something like that: /home/dsl/blahblahbalh.inf

Leave channel blank
Leave WEP off (always important for first time getting it to work in new environment)
Enter your SSID for SSID

I forgot if there are other options. Fill them in as best you can if there are.

Does that work? Report back here if it does, or if it doesn't.
