Installing a Cardbus Wireless Adapter.

[asda653]

Can someone run me through this? In all the online tutorials I have no idea of what they're saying because I am completely new.

Using VectorLinux and D-Link DWL-650 rev.M Cardbus Adapter.

The computer knows it's a cardbus, but I don't know how to get drivers or what to do since I'm a Linux noob.

i just bought that card. before anything verify the chipset by typing lspci. if its atheros
you should try this tutorial and see if you can use this to get through yours http://linux.wordpress.com/2006/05/2...ed-wifi-cards/

i think it will help for most of the setup but after step 4 its specifically for Suse.

No, it's the Realtek one or something. I just checked. Yours is the new G650, mine is the outdated and predecessor to that, the old 650.

get on http://www.google.com/linux look for realtek vector linux. that is how i found the driver instructions for mine.

I found one but don't know how to use it... It's always in source format and whenever I try using "make" it says command not found or something.
