Hi,So i think i'm making some progress w/ my d-link dwl500 card, but still not quite there. I've compiled Cardbus support into my kernel, and also the wavelan_cs.o module (everything on google says i should be using wvlan_cs.o, but i can't find that so i was assuming that it might be for older (2.2) kernels? I don't get any kind of messages at all after modprobing wavelan_cs (it doesn't get automatically loaded... so i'm not sure if that's a bad sign or not). I'm assuming for now that the hardware might work, but i need a wvlan0 device which i do not have (and grepping the MAKEDEV script didn't come up w/ anything either). Does anyone know where i could find the major/minor #'s for that?
To get my DWL-650 to work, I compiled the pcmcia-cs[1] source and the driver from linux-wlan-ng[2]. You'll also need to apt-get install pcmcia-cs and wireless-tools. After compiling these two things, the driver loaded at boot and I had wlan0. The kernel modules didn't work for me. The module loaded fine, but nothing else would happen. The documentation in both tarballs below was very useful for me.
