Kumagoro,

Here are the instructions that I have for getting the D-link 650+ network card.

I only know how to do this with a HD install. I'm sure that if you change some settings in the make file, you could probably get this to work but if your not going to do a hard drive install, you would have to repeat these steps every time your rebooted your pc. You should really consider doing a HD install.

Knoppix's ability to run from CD will probably get more people to play with Linux than otherwise would. Knoppix's true flexibility only comes when it is installed on your Hard Drive. My Laptop and my home PC are both run Knoppix and WinXP.

OK, now for the instructions:

go to http://rhlx01.fht-esslingen.de/~andi/acx100/ and download the file acx100-0.2.0pre7_plus_fixes_3.tar.gz

From there you will open a command line, gunzip the file, move the *.tar file into your /usr directory(I just opened the gz file using Konqueror and copied the entire Directory into the /usr directory). Follow the steps in the README file to install.

The README file basicly tells you to download the drivers from D-links website:ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Wireless/dwl520+...rivers_307.zip, then copy three files(WLANGEN.BIN, RADIO0d.BIN and RADIO11.BIN) from the win2000 directory into your firmware directory that was just created. /usr/acx100-0.2.0pre7_plus_fixes_3/firmware. Open a command line and go into the /usr/acx100-0.2.0pre7_plus_fixes_3/ directory and type make.

Done

There is a scripts directory( /usr/acx100-0.2.0pre7_plus_fixes_3/scripts) that has a start script. Run that and if you have DHCP it should put you on the net, if not then you will have to run the network card configuration utility. I ran the ethernet utility and it asked me if I wanted to use eth0 or wlan. Type in your setting if you don't have DHCP and you will be surfing in no time.

Thats all there is to it. And who says that Linux is hard?

Good Luck!
