I have a D-Link DWL-G510 wireless card. I've tried many types of Linux, but none of them find my wireless card. I tried using NDIS Wrapper, but it just gives errors.
Has anyone had this problem, and how did you fix it?

Thanks

I had a similar problem and found that the card didn't have a working driver for linux yet

i use wireless on linux and it works very very good....im using mandriva 2006 linux...the card is a linksys pci card....i forget the exact model number but it works good im using ndiswrapper.....u realy should dl the newest version from there site. they update it all the time. just dl the source for that compule and install it. the from command line use "ndiswrapper -i driver.inf" and if u installed the rigth driver(in my case i used the one on the cd that came with the card) it will say somthing liek this "driver installed, hardware present" if it says that then u are as good as connected from there just "modprobe ndiswrapper" then u should have a wlan0 interface under ifconfig..........i use dhcp to connect to my router so i just type "dhclient wlan0" and bingo it connects!!!!!!!! if ya have any other questions just ask and i will try and help......good luck

They might even have general wireless stuff, I dunno.
