Works with Relatek binary drivers for Windows and ndiswrapper, but requires a small modification to the PCI ID in NET8180.INF. Refer to this page for more details. Note that at least with 2.6 kernel the orginal D-Link Windows driver that comes with the card has serious problems and may cause a system restart.

Seems this card comes with 2 different chipsets. One is marvel based. The other is atheros based. The lspci command should tell which it uses.

Hi

Do you know the code in terminal for probing the type of hardware used for the wireless card.

Thanks EAI
