MadWifi
Back to the task of installing a wireless network adapter. I have a D-Link DWL-G510 Wireless PCI Adapter that I want to install. As a brief anecdote, when I went to a computer store over a year ago to purchase the adapter, the salesman asked me which distro I was running, to which I responded that I didn’t know what distro meant. He rolled his eyes, handed me this adapter and asked me if I had any friends that could install it for me. Now I need to go about proving him wrong.
He did tip me off to a project called MadWifi, a device driver for wireless adapters with an Atheros chipset, and according to the MadWifi site, mine is compatible.
