Re: D-Link DWL-G630 WiFi Card

Thank you, Ben

I am personally a strong believer in the security and usability strengths of
live CDs. For many years, I modified the Devil-Linux distribution from being
an IPTABLES platform to having text-only desktop capabilities. In my version,
only applications, such as GCC would reside on the hard drive.

I don't think I would be able to re-engineer a full blown distribution, such as
Ubuntu, to do the same in any reasonable amount of time.

Thanks again, John

not sure exactly how you go about this with the live cd setup but you need to

compile your own drivers for this card, ubuntu shows the device correctly out

of the box but it wont work. with the same card i've used this guide to get
everything working http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=132980&page=2

to compile you'll need the build-essential, kernel-sources, kernel-headers.
just make sure you use the /etc/Wireless/RT61STA/rt61sta.dat for your config
changes and not the ubuntu network GUI as it will stuff things up. good luck
