Yes this is me again....n3wb

I would really appreciate a step by step for installing a DWL-650 v: M1 into linux...

I am running the CRUX distro with much luck, just need a little help in the wireless field

edit: tech support says that it is on the TI chipset, please tell me there is a way to make it work....

There are... count'em, 5 different versions of the DWL-650, let's see which one this really is:

/sbin/cardctl ident

and

/sbin/lspci

Cheers,

You can get the driver from here http://sourceforge.net/projects/acx100/ Make sure you read the readme file. There is an excellent how to houseofcraig.net

If your card is the G650 the driver will not work yet, the 650+ works good, but rember this is still an alpha driver. The DWL-650 should work with the prizim driver unless it is one of the rare cards that actually uses the TI chip set.

I should also add which TI chipset, there is the acx100 and the acx111, the acx111 is usually in the DWL-G650 cards.

There you should be confused now
