I happened to run across this forum, and another page that provided a solution for this specific device, when I was scouting out whether buying it would be a good idea or not.

Check out the link below - if it helps, great! I haven't tried out the steps in this page, since I haven't yet bought the device. I intend to, though, in the near future...

Well I am trying to get my dwl-g122 working on my suse 10.1 and my winxp drivers are present but nothigs working.

Hi,

with the DWL-g122, you must be careful about which version you have; there are at least three, maybe more, and each uses a different chip. I have the B1, which uses the rt2570 chip, and it works like charm with ndiswrapper-1.48. From what I can recall, the A* uses a prism chip, and the C* an RT61...

Right I have one of the A's and I got the prism driver off of the cd that came with the usb.

Hi, have you tried using the kernel driver?? I think its name is hostap.

for ndiswrapper, is the device/driver present?? (#ndiswrapper -l) Have you done #modprobe ndiswrapper?

Serafean

yes I have

Um, what have you tried?? I found out that it could well be the prim54 driver you need.

From another end, Could you define that? It is a bit vague. Does your card show up in #iwconfig?#ifconfig -a ? Does #iwlist scan show up any results (you must do #ifconfig wlan0 up prior to that). Do you have any network traffic at all (LEDs on the adapter blinking...)?

Successfully using USB DLINK DWL-G122 Rev C on RHEL 5.1

the following configuraiton is up and running for my Linux Box.
Configuration: RHEL 5.1
a) Got ndiswrapper 1.52 from internet
compiled with make clean, make uninstall, make

it puts ndiswrapper in right directories.

b) got dr71wu.inf from DriverAgent.com

c) got dr71wu.sys from windows xp driver cd which came with USB stick

d) install the driver using
ndiswrapper -i dr71wu.inf

e) install the modules using
ndiswrapper -m

f) ndiswrapper -l gives
the driver installed, device present

g) configure the wlan0 using

iwconfig wlan0 essid "my ssid"
iwconfig wlan0 key "my key"

h) use dhcp to configure the ip address

dhclient wlan0

the usb is working file and I am using mozilla to connect to internet now.

Hi,everyone,I am new a guy here.
I have the same problem.
I use rt73-cvs-daily.tar.gz to make the D-LINK DWL G-122 work.It does work,but I cannot see its MAC address in yast->network card.And now I cannot even ping the IP address I give to the card by hand.I use ad-hoc as the wireless card's mode.
It seems that it is not enough to only know how to install the driver into linux system......
