    What revision is the card.. different rev's have differnet chips in them which will affect the drivers used.

    Unless you use ndiswrapper and the Windows drivers.

    Yes, it should be possible. Read this post to find out what drivers and stuff might be available for the card. i think that particular version of dlink uses either an acx or atheros chipset.

    If you find you need ndiswrapper, read this tutorial. You can install ndiswrapper with apt i.e apt-get install ndiswrapper
    Life is complex, it has a real part and an imaginary part.
