D-Link wireless & Ubuntu Feisty

[bonz_dragon]

Anyone here with any experience yet with Feisty and setting up a wireless connection?

Been to the Ubuntu forums and help sites but being new to Linux most of what I've found is confusing or contradictory. I know wireless can be difficult but is supposed to be more friendly with Feisty.

From what I seen so far the OS is seeing the card correctly and from what I've read the DLW 520+ is supposed to be one of the easiest cards to set up.

So, anyone with time to help out a Linux Newbie?

According to the driver info on the D-Link site (http://support.dlink.com/products/view.asp?productid=DWL%2D520%2B#drivers) ,there are no Linux drivers available for your product. They do offer a replacement for it tho'...

Check this site. He claims to have got this working in Linux.

OK maybe I stated this wrong.

According to the Feisty help pages the D-Link 520+ is natively supported and should work out of the box. It is being seen as acx100 which it is supposed to.

The problen I'm having is with the settings to connect with the router. Kind a like setting up a Windows network, except there is no auto conf.

So to clear the confussion it's not drivers I need for the wifi card.

Thanks Sterling. On the hardware support page it lists all D-LINK cards and shows which are supported and which are not. The 520 and the 520+ are to seperate cards. The 520+ is and the 520 is not, just for anyone else who may need this info.
