setting up to a wireless network for idiots

Hey dude,

   If you are using acx_pci driver, GPLUS.inf then try this in the terminal which would be present in Applications -> Accessories..

Natively the card is detected and installed by the system, but the WiFi doesn't work, we'll go on removing the current driver :

First, we'll check that the drivers is installed :

$>find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -name "*acx*"

You should get :

$>find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -name "*acx*"
/lib/modules/2.6.12-10-386/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/acx
/lib/modules/2.6.12-10-386/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/acx/acx_pci.ko

Then, save them to /root or whatever you want.

$>sudo find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -name "*acx*" -exec mv {} /root \;

And finally, make and update of the modules dépendencies :

$>depmod -a

End of the first step, go on with the new drivers installation.

Step 2

You have to download two things :

First one is to get the drivers, you can grab them here :

ftp://ftp.dlink.co.uk/wireless/dwl-g650+_rev_Bx/dwl-g650+_rev_bx_drv_v204.zip
( you can also use wget url of course )

Unpack them :

$>unzip dwl-g650+_rev_bx_drv_v204.zip

ok, then the second thing : we'll get ndiswrapper, it allows to install Windows Wifi Drivers under linux ! ;)

$>sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils

now, we just have to give ndiswrapper the right .inf file..

$>ndiswrapper -i /path/of/drivers/GPLUS.inf

and reboot !
