Hi Folks,
I've just installed Mandrake 10.1 powerpack on to an AMD 1100 duron pc.
It works well, however the D-Link usb wireless adapter doesn't work. I
can't find any linux drivers for it. It is a D-Link DWL-G122, I've also
got a DWL-G120 on my windows box and can use either adapter on the
windows box, so it appears to be a lack of drivers rather than a faulty
adapter.
Any suggestions on getting either of the usb adapters to work.
Thanks
Jeff.
www.google.com/linux/ is your friend.
20 seconds of Googling came up with these links

Your D-Link DWL-G122 is able to use the Windows drivers along with an
application called ndiswrapper. Ndiswrapper provides an adaptation layer
between Linux and the Windows drivers. Install the ndiswrapper package using
your Software Install GUI (it is already on your CDs), and then open a
terminal and enter 'su' to become root user and follow the instructions here
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/Installation#Install_Windows_driver
Once ndiswrapper loads OK you should be able to use the configure Connection
GUI in Mandriva Control Centre to set up your wireless device.
