DWL-G132 wireless D-Link


I am posting mostly in regard to wireless adapters for PCs. A linux user of three months, I have not found a wireless adapter card for my PC. Currently, I am using Fedora Core 4.0, but am willing to switch to Debian or Ubuntu if necessary to gain wireless support.

I have a wireless 108G AirPlusXtremeG (DWL-G132). Is there currently a universal driver available? Would one of the three distributions above support the product better?

If I am understanding linux news correctly, the Debian community is making an effort to be more of a universal operating system, whereas Suse and Fedora will stay in their own worlds? Perhaps, Debian will have more support for wireless? (this may be a very dumb question I am realizing as I type).

Thanks,
D

You should try ndiswrapper (works in Fedora) :

http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net


If you have "apt" setup on your system then :

$ apt-cache search ndiswrapper

will show you all that you can install using "apt-get"

Make sure that the ndiswrapper module version that you install maches your linux kernel version (you can find this using "uname -r" ).

I just got a DWL-G132 USB dongle working on FC2, using the latest ndiswrapper 1.6rc1.
