My laptop is 233 MHz w/64 mb ram, and runs DSL like a champ. However, I can not get the D-Link card to work.
The card is D-Link AirPlus DWL-G650 card.
I have the windows drivers, I think, and can mount the
HDD to get them.  

From the root-access XShell, I used the ndiswrapper command for those driver files.  
I then run ndiswrapper -l and get this
Installed ndis drivers:
net5211 hardward present.

the command iwconfig:
lo   no wireless extensions.
ath0  IEEE801.11.....blah, blah blah, (will post all if needed)

From DSL Control Panel, Netcardconfig:
"No supported network cards found".

Does all this mean, I did the right steps, but am simply
out of luck with this card all together?  Is there something
else I can do?

Thanks,
Michael

ps  I am very new to linux, so please explain with that
in mind. Thanks.

I have a D-Link AirPlus DWL-520+ and haven't had any luck with it.  I also have little/no linux experience and not enough money to buy a supported card and would appreciate any help in setting it up.  The card is not recognized at all as far as I know.

At least it says your hardware is present in ndiswrapper.  Mine says it's not present but shows up (i think) with lspci.

Is someone out there that might be able to help SuperLou and I?  Or perhaps point us to a good place for reference?

Thanks,
Fuzzhead
