Re: How to install drivers on linux for NEWBS

Please provide the model number of the D-link.
Basically, if a native driver won't work, then a program called ndiswrapper will work using the windows driver. But first, we need to determine what chip you have in your wireless card.

Gajorange more info is needed to help you. ;^)

What O/S are you trying to get this wireless card working on ?

Can you be more detailed about the wireless card ? [exact card name and model number/S.N. number]

Then we can find out if the D-Link card has Linux support.

NDISwrapper may be the fix or it may not, more info will be needed for your issue.
