Wireless D-link network card

[orts]

hi

 

One of my friends has tried to install Mandriva 2007.1 Spring and loves it, but he can't get his network up and running.

He is using this networkcard from D-link: AirPlus XtremeG DWL-G520 PCI

 

Does any in here use this networl card? And must of all how did you configure AMndriva to use it?

 

Thanks in advance

This card should work with the MadWifi wireless drivers, however, I have not set these up and could not find good instructions so if someone else with experience could give some advice here...that'd be perfect ;)

Thanks for your answer, Jan (my friend) is not what I will call new with Linux, and he told me that he has tried almost anything.

And he just can't get Mandriva to work with this network card, but he say's it work fine in Ubuntu and Fedora, so in my opinion it shall work with Mandriva too :D ;

 

But I will tell him about the Madwifi wireless drivers, maybe he hasn't tried them yet.

That card (like many others) has used many different chipsets. You must check for the hardware revision in the model number. Please read: seattlewireless.net/DlinkDwl520

 

The hardware revision code will be one of these; A, B, C, D, or E. This will determine what driver to use.
