D-link DWL-G630 not working on Lucid

Asked by stephen

I've been trying on and off for a week to get D-link DWL-G630 up and running on a fresh install of Lucid. I came across the trouble shooting procedure so below is a cut and paste of the full terminal session. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

From what I've read you need to compile the latest madwifi and it will work fine. You need to compile this each time you get a new kernel so keep the source handy

You may be able to sidestep this by installing the backport modules using a wired connection.

First UNINSTALL ndiswrapper by running the following commands:

sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude remove ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-modules-1.9 ndiswrapper-utils-1.9

Then please follow the solution procedures here:
