Want To Use D-Link AirPlus G Card DWL-G630 On 500 MHZ Pismo

styler,

There is only one third-party wireless driver that I am aware of which supports 802.11g PC cards and it is OrangeWare:

Unfortunately, your card is not in the supported list. OrangeWare's driver supports cards that use the Atheros chipset, and apparently your card uses either the Prism or ACX 111. As is often the case, D-Link and others will often switch chipsets yet keep the same model number of the card and give it a revision number.

I am unfamiliar with Windows, but you should be able to find the specs on your wireless card when inserted in the card slot. But unless it has a Ralink or Broadcom (Apple) or Atheros chipset, I don't see how it will work.

Did you try the RaLink drivers?

As jpl alludes to there are a number of chipsets used in these cards (ie Broadcom, Atheros, Prism, RaLink, Texas Inst. etc...).

Hi Deuce,

The RaLink drivers can be found here: http://www.ralinktech.com/supp-1.htm

They will only work if the DLink product you have is based on their chipset.

The Ralink based card I have works... Apples Airport software does not work with this chipset. You need to use the RaLink control panel. This is a bit of a drag as it lacks the GNU refinement that Apple brings to the mix but it does work with the card I am currently using (cheap card for the old book).

Did you try the RaLink Drivers? I note that within the list of card-chipsets for the DLink product on the page you link to Ralink is one possible chip set used in the Dlink product.
