Description: This is a wireless USB adaptor made by D-Link.
I needed to use the linux-wlan-ng package to get this to work, the USB driver is needed from the package.
Will set up as wlan*. This adaptor is based on the prims2 chipset, although i could not get and of the native drivers for prism2 to work, hence the linux-wlan-ng package.
Keywords: Wireless USB Pocket
Chipset: Prism2
Connection Type: USB

The device works very well. This is my first installation of suse and at present I start the device as root from a console with wlanctl-ng.

Great little device. Out of the box this doesn't have the range of some newer cards. Tx output 16dbm/40mW compared to some newer 200mW cards. By adding and external antenna yourself you can reach AP's like you won't believe. I'm currently using a pigtail from an old AP that uses TNC connector. I removed the old ceramic antenna and soldered the pigtail. The antenna I'm using is a 3dBi. This seems to make a huge difference. Might have to upgrade to a 9dBi later and see what the results are.
