    help getting wireless working...resolved

    Just installed dapper on a friends compaq presario 700.  I am having trouble finding anything to help me configure the wireless.  Here is the output of lspci.

    0000:00:0a.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI1410 PC card Cardbus Controller (rev 01)
    0000:00:0b.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)

    I am using a d-link air gw-650 wireless card.
    I put dapper on my sisters compaq presario v2000 and the wireless worked out of the box with gw-630
    Please help.

    I tried Enlightenment once, it was pretty cool.

    Are you sure the interface simply isn't enabled? In kmenu/system settings/network settings/ available network interfaces you are not getting an option for the card when it is inserted in the pcmcia slot?

      Are you sure the interface simply isn't enabled? 
      yes.  the only interface available is the eth0.  only one led on the card lights up.  the acct. led.  the link light stays off.  i am thinking it is the gw650 card.  there isn't much info out there on this card for linux, at least not that i have found.  here is iwconfig:
      lo        no wireless extensions.

      eth0      no wireless extensions.

      sit0      no wireless extensions.

      and cat /etc/network/interfaces:
      auto lo
      iface lo inet loopback
      address 127.0.0.1
      netmask 255.0.0.0

      auto eth0
      iface eth0 inet dhcp

      auto eth1
      iface eth1 inet dhcp

      auto eth2
      iface eth2 inet dhcp

      auto ath0
      iface ath0 inet dhcp

      auto wlan0
      iface wlan0 inet dhcp

        Have you tried using ndiswrapper?

        There should be quite a few posts on ndiswrapper, both here and at the ubuntu forums.

        Also dl-650 shows some results at the ubuntu forums, if you haven't been there yet.

          I don't see your specific card listed, but there are a number of d-link 650 cards listed.

          matching output of lspci with lspci -n should give vendor and device id numbers. If you have more questions about this post back.

            problem solved. I got rid of the dlink dwl 650 and used a dwl g630. It works perfectly.
