This page is my experience with the DWA-552, aka D-Link Xtreme N Desktop Adapter = Intrepid Ibex (8.10) = Works... But Causes 64bit and 32bit to experience freezing up completely. Use ndiswrapper method below to fix in 32bit, the fix for 64bit is unknown. = Hardy Heron (8.04) = == Madwifi == Phail. I tried this guide for madwifi: http://www.ubuntu-forum.com/showthread.php?t=718244 It doesn't work. == Ndiswrapper == Ndiswrapper seems to work (albeit, not very well. See Intrepid). Get the drivers here: http://www.dlink.com/products/support.asp?pid=531 For reference, I'll post the directions I have on using ndiswrapper: First check to make sure ACX is not installed {{{ lsmod | grep ACX }}} If you get output, then you will have to find a different guide for help. This guide assumes you get no output. ==== Install the drivers ==== {{{ sudo ndiswrapper -i /location_of_your_wireless_driver/netathw.inf }}} Make sure to choose the driver without the x. The x is for windows 98. I suspect that the drivers for windows 2000/XP are better. {{{ sudo ndiswrapper -l }}} {{{ sudo modprobe ndiswrapper }}} ==== Set ndiswrapper to load on startup ==== {{{ sudo ndiswrapper -m }}} {{{ gksudo gedit /etc/modules }}} Add the following module to the list {{{ ndiswrapper }}} Now you can configure your wireless card with `ip` and `iwconfig`.
