Hmmm....
I'm not sure I can help you. As you can see in my last post I'm a complete linux-greenhead at the moment. But I will tell you how I loaded my drivers into ndiswrapper. That's all I can do right now:) (Pardon me if all this is obvious to you - but instead of writing back and forth - i'll tell you all I did.)

Ok...

First of all I copied all the files from my original winxp driver cd to dsl with a usb-pen. That's 3 files:

gplus.bin
gplus.inf
gplus.sys

Then I used emelfm instead of the terminal to install the driver into ndiswrapper. Right clicked on gplus.info and selected "open with" and typed "sudo ndiswrapper -i" Then I opened xterminal and typed "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper - to make a configuration. Then "ndiswrapper -l"

ndiswrapper reported: gplus   hardware present

and the went on with the script in my earlier post.

That's what I did. Maybe I'm just lucky.

....maybe your driver doesn't work with ndiswrapper or maybe your card slot isn't up and running at all. I don't know - wish I did...:)

Which "Windows" driver did you use?

There are more than one version of MSWindows.

Hello ,

Totally new to Linux so I am hopeing someone can help. After reading this post I have managed to get the drivers installed BUT my computer is not detecting the hardware (it says "airplus hardware NOT present").

I don't think the PCMCIA slots are working as the card has no lights on. I have downloaded the 'PCMCIA support package' from pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net but (having never used Linux before) have no idea how to get this working.

Is anyone able to help?

PS: The card is a D-Link DWL-G650+ and I am using DSL (I don't know what version, or how to find out!)

Thanks

Tried the airplus-drivers myself - didn't work. use the gplus drivers. I tried the airplus drivers when I wanted to use the latest drivers for my card. Since I bought it in norway the D-link page redirected me to the norwegian site. And when you search for drivers for your dwl-g650+ card they give you the airplus driver.
