To Whom It May Concern...

If you read my previous post , you saw that I wanted to get WiFi networking working on Damn Small Linux (DSL), which uses a 2.4 Kernel. My PCMCIA card (had it in my junk collection, and didn't want to spend $$ on a newer one) is a D-Link DWL-G630 (DWL G630) card. Version A1. Not A1 as in awesome, great, easy to install on linux. A1 as in the first version, of which they've gone up to version E. There are write-ups on how to set up network cards on linux in all manner of ways. Several for this card suggested MadWifi. I could never get MadWifi to install in a way that I saw it do anything. The best one I saw was on Leedberg.com . However, there were a few clarifications needed in his instructions. This card uses mrv8k51.inf as the driver. To get this card to work with ndiswrapper, use the Win98 drivers. DSL doesn't have DHClient.

I found several sites, including this one ( http://www.lepolt.com/blog/...digital-picture-frame/ ) that pointed to Damn Small Linux (from here on out referred to DSL) as the OS of choice. I'd played with it, but to no depth, so I rolled up my sleeves, got out a ReWritable CD, and downloaded the ISO. First things first. DSL-N is not DSL. It is like it, but the steps online are not the same. One of the links to download DSL led me to a site that also had DSL-N. It took me a while to realize that I did that and that was why the online steps did not work. Scratch 2 days. Now, with the correct version in hand I set out to set up m...
