Windows drivers wokring in linux

why would you want to? linux has most everything you need compiled already, besides nvidia or ati drivers, which are packaged for linux.

😕
 
Which linux distro did you install? That's one of your mistakes, for newbies like you get an easy distro that has superior driver detection like Mepis.

Btw, it also depends what d-link card you have. I think there's like four different chipsets for the 54g version of their pci card. So it'll be very handy to find that out.

Let me give you a piece of advice from someone who suffered from the wows of WiFi on Linux at the beginning of the road in Linux land, don't get a random card and expect it to work under Linux, wireless card manufacturers aren't releasing crucial info concerning the chips that run the cards which is making it harder for Linux developers to write drivers, except for Intel and RALink, get yourself an Intel mini-PCI card, it took me 3 minutes to get WiFi running on Fedora Core 4 running on my trusty Thinkpad R50e with a 2200BG Intel mini-PCI card. Intel has a funded project tio release drivers for Linux and that's why it just works.
