Hold on there, Antgel- Not to get too indignant, but in my defense I did do a google search on the DWL-G510 and found that people had success getting the card to work with Linux, and the pointers I found indicated madwifi. I did not see that there were absolutely no drivers for Linux. As a matter of fact, I didn't know that you could get such a card to work in Linux without Linux drivers! So I guess I didn't read what google yielded very effectively. I'm afraid that I'm unfamiliar with ndiswrapper and apologize for my ignorance. I'll start Googling and reading man pages. It's good to know that there's a way to get this card to work even without Linux support. Thank you for the reply, and please let me know if you have any other suggestions.

Not withstanding that, a two-minute google search on "Linux DWL-G510" reveals that there are no Linux drivers, but you can use the Windows drivers with ndiswrapper.
