    Can you do lspci on the 'dlink' and see what it says? I've seen
    some remark it as atheros - and some as prism. Does it have '802.11a'?

    Usually 802.11a supported cards are atheros chipset based. With
    atheros - there is a chance that you can get it working with madwifi
    driver.

    I use a mini-pci card 'IBM a/b' with I believe has an atheros 5211
    chipset. The a/b/g cards could be Atheros 5212 chipset.

    One way to find this info is with 'lspci'. I get
    02:02.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5211 802.11ab NIC (rev 01)

    I used to get numeric nubers here (which could be matched with entries
    in the madwifi source). Do'nt know who does the translation now ..

    02:02.0 Class 0200: 168c:0012 (rev 01)
