[MLB-WIRELESS] [OffTopic Warning!] D-Link DWL-650+ For swap or sale!

(as posted to the SydWireless list)

Hi All,

For those Linux users who are feeling brave and want to try getting their
DLink-DWL520+ card running in managed/adhoc mode under linux, I've stolen
these links from the MelbWireless list.  Follow these for binary drivers.

 These are NOT SUPPORTED. There is NO SOURCE CODE available.

I haven't tried these myself, so post to the list if you get them going!

Hi Rik!

Ian just informed me that they don't work under Linux. I'm running Debian
3.0 2.4.20-1, isn't that what everyone uses? ;P
Funny thing is I bought the card specificaly because I remembered seeing a
"Linux Drivers" link on their page a couple of months back... The link is
now gone, so they either changed their mind or I was imagining it!
I have however tried an Orinoco card under WinXP and had very similar
results.
As soon as the card requested a DHCP lease (I could watch it on the server)
the machine locked up.

Thanks for your help!

regards,
Garreth
