== PCI ==  * Model - This is the full device model as noted on the box.
 * Chipset - Chipset vendor name, chipset name, vendor code, and device code. For example, if one was looking for a PCI device: {{{
lspci -vvnn | grep Network
04:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter [10ec:8176] (rev 01)
}}} It's the ''''Realtek'''', ''''RTL8188CE'''', and ''''[10ec:8176] (rev 01)''''.
 * Driver - For a PCI device: {{{
lspci -vvnn | grep -A 9 Network | grep Kernel
 Kernel driver in use: rtl8192ce
}}} It's the ''''rtl8192ce''''.
 * Works "out of the box"
  * Yes - It works perfectly with no manual modifications, or degraded performance.
  * No - It doesn't work at all, has degraded performance, or requires manual configuration to make it work. Please add a comment to what you had to do to get it to work if this was possible, as well as a URL to an outstanding Launchpad bug report to address the issues encountered.

Chipset manufacturer has driver source [[http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Linux.html|here]]. (Look for "RT61", D-Link product name is not mentioned).

Worked by plugging it in and then installing Xubuntu. "Act" light blinks properly, but "Link" light does not. (Chipset manufacturer has driver source [[http://www.ralinktech.com/supp-1.htm|here]]) Comment: Works fine out-of-the-box on 8.10. || 2009-01-19 ||

|| DWL-G520 || Atheros AR5212 || [[WifiDocs/Driver/Madwifi|Madwifi]] || Yes || Yes || Yes || DAPPER: Nearly works out-of-the-box, but had to add "wireless-rate 11M" to /etc/network/interfaces + reboot or two. BREEZY: Works out of the box with breezy. Works well, even with WEP. (Note: Some G520 may use acx100 instead.) HOARY: Rev. B of this card will not work out-of-the-box with Hoary--the madwifi drivers that shipped with Hoary are too old. An updated linux-restricted-modules* package is available [[http://ubuntupc.com/ubuntu/public-sources/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.10-5-386_2.6.10.5-1gb_i386.deb|here]] Note that this package is not officially supported. Some users have reported problems with WPA in the forums.||2005-12-16 ||
|| DWL-520+ || ? || [[WifiDocs/Driver/acx100|acx100]] || Yes || Yes || Yes || Just Works || ||
|| DWL-G630 || ? || no (ndiswrapper) || ?? || Yes || Yes, though CD-installer doesn't recognize it || Works in Breezy (just configure it from the gnome network config tool), though it isn't recognized during installation. Works only via ndiswrapper in Warty and Hoary. (But check your hardware and firmware version against those below which succeeded. Maybe this is an old entry.) || ||
|| DWL-650 || ? || orinoco_cs || Yes || Yes || Yes || Automatically detected, setup even asks for the WEP key || ||
|| DWL-650+ || ? || [[WifiDocs/Driver/acx100|acx100]] || Yes || Yes || Yes || Automatically detected, works with and without WEP. Did not test 22Mb/sec mode || ||
|| DWL-G650 || Atheros AR5212 || [[WifiDocs/Driver/Madwifi|Madwifi]] || ?? || Yes || Yes || Only Open-Key WEP with Netgear DG834G || ||
|| DWL-G650 || Atheros AR5212, Version C2, Firmware 3.1.6 || [[WifiDocs/Driver/Madwifi|Madwifi]] || Should work (Card is recognized and kernel drivers loaded, so connecting to a unsecure Open System A.P. while installing should work) || Yes || Yes || Open System Access Point and WEP work out of the box. For WPA-PSK I needed to install wpasupplicant (not included in Ubuntu before v6.06). I used the Debian Sid package without any problem. This card also works with ndiswrapper. I used a D-Link DI-624+ router to test it. (upgraded firmware of the router, not related to linux nor the wifi card, router rebooted itself even when connecting a windows machine with a ethernet cable, applied last firmware, now doing fine). Update: On Edgy recognized out of the box by Wireless LAN Manager including WEP. WPA works with Knetworkmanager. On Feisty, requires linux-restricted-modules. Works with Knetworkmanager on WPA. WEP not tested.|| ||
|| DWL-G650+ || ? || [[WifiDocs/Driver/acx100|acx100]] || No || No || No || Does not work for me unless I recompile the pci_acx module with latest patches. After that it works. WEP not yet supported for acx111 cards. Added_note: I confirm this card does not work with a default Hoary install: despite the fact that it worked fine with my Hoary install from Array 5. Go figure. The fault seems to be related to an error in loading the firmware which is present in the hotplug firmware folder. || ||
|| DWL-G650+ || ? || no (ndiswrapper) || No || Yes || No || Works with WEP. It is out-of-the box as much as ndiswrapper can be (manually install of win drivers). However, it shows 100% range all the time|| ||

You have DWA-181(up to kernel 3.10) or DWA-131, but there's no official support for this system. That's why drives which you can get are for the old kernels and haven't been updated then.

Regards,
D-Link Technical Support'''

So no official drivers exists for any D-Link USB modules after kernel-3.10.

Summary

  • Model - This is the full device model as noted on the box.
  • Chipset - Chipset vendor name, chipset name, vendor code, and device code. For example, if one was looking for a PCI device:

    lspci -vvnn | grep Network
    04:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter [10ec:8176] (rev 01)

    It's the 'Realtek', 'RTL8188CE', and '[10ec:8176] (rev 01)'.

  • Driver - For a PCI device:

    lspci -vvnn | grep -A 9 Network | grep Kernel
            Kernel driver in use: rtl8192ce

    It's the 'rtl8192ce'.

  • Works "out of the box"
    • Yes - It works perfectly with no manual modifications, or degraded performance.
    • No - It doesn't work at all, has degraded performance, or requires manual configuration to make it work. Please add a comment to what you had to do to get it to work if this was possible, as well as a URL to an outstanding Launchpad bug report to address the issues encountered.

Note on D-Link USB modules

A response from D-Link costumer support on which USB modules they support on Linux;

2016-10-19 16:54:00 10000941 GMT+1

120 Unassigned/New 200 Waiting for Customer

You have DWA-181(up to kernel 3.10) or DWA-131, but there's no official support for this system. That's why drives which you can get are for the old kernels and haven't been updated then.

Regards, D-Link Technical Support

So no official drivers exists for any D-Link USB modules after kernel-3.10.
