rt73 wireless driver

Can't really understand why newly downloaded Gnome and KDE versions of OS
11.0 ISO's would include a faulty driver setup for my D-Link DWL-G122 C1
version, especially when it seems to have been a common complaint since
several openSuse releases back...........

..........but anyways, looking for a source for precomplied driver binaries
and install instructions; tried the serialmonkey.org
([url]http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/rt73-cvs-daily.tar.gz[/url]) file but it would
seem that the LiveCD install doesn't include the compiler.


........failing to obtain binaries, is there a reliable webpage which
outlines installing with ndiswrapper?


Cheers...much appreciated. :-)

There are two different chip set in the DWL - G122. Not sure what the
other chip set was. I found out the hard way. The other chip set was in
an earlier one.

If you discover one for God's sake let me know as I'm trying to get a
DWA-146 to work with Suse.

After searching some more I found that drivers for many D-Link devices
are available from D-Link. The location is a little obscure but it is
there.

The drivers for the earlier DWL-G122 is aPrism driver dated Jan 2005
The part # on the CD is CD-DWLG122, Ver 1.02.

Hope this helps.

Right. I've located the source for a native "stable beta" driver form
D-Link (but have to install the compiler, et al, and also have the
suggestion that I might use ndiswrapper as an alternate method.

Of course, all my disks are in Bangkok so I have to wait 'till I get
home next month but it looks likely that it will work if I persevere,
with a little help from my friends (but perhaps that dates me:-).
