Andrew You missed a potentially important piece of information, being the hardware revision. Petty, I know, but D-Link used three different chipsets across the three hardware versions of this USB dongle!
I have Rev B, which I believe is a Ralink chipset, and I couldn't get this to work under Ubuntu 6.06 with Gnome Desktop. However, when I installed Kubuntu 6.06, with KDE Desktop, I was able to configure it to work using Wireless Assistant and I didn't touch the command line once. I'd be inclined to install Kubuntu into RAM using the Live CD and see if he can get it working using my method. If he can, install from there, which should preserve his working configuration - it did mine.
