I have loaded DSL 1.3 into my Compaq IA-1 attempting to use a DWL122 and a Linksys WUSB54G. Neither one of these USB adapters work with the rekease of NDISWRAPPER provided with DSL on any machine ,,,, in borh cases NDISWRAPPER -l syys the driver is installed but hte hardware in NOT PRESENT. The DWL122 works with MiDORI and OPERA,,, it has a PRISM3 chipset. I believe the NDISWRAPPER provided in DSL does NOT support USB devices ... I am writing this message via Knoppix 4.0 and my DWL122. Are there any plans to backport the latest release of NDISWRAPPER to DSL ?

Thanks

Sorry eljudo, I missed that you were asking specifically about ndiswrapper, and not a dedicated driver.

GaTk,
You mention a DWL122, not DWL-G122 like eljudo's. I have the DWL122 myself, and it definitely works with DSL's linux-wlan-ng drivers. See here - http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....;t=7909

Regarding your Linksys WUSB54G, if you have the early version with PrismGT chipset there's a good chance DSL's prism54 driver will work ... though you may have to troubleshoot some missing firmware files as nevc64 posted here - http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....;t=6753
