Hi,I got my WLAN card working today. It's actually very simple...
-Download the ndiswrapper from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ndiswrapper
-Extract the tar ball
tar xfz ndiswrapper-1.4.tar.gz
-Change into the directory in a console
cd ndiswrapper-1.4/
-Type the following command in the console:
make
-Then login as root and change again in this directory
su -
-Type the following command in the console
make install
-Now you can download the driver from the producer site or from the support CD
-Unzip the driver
unzip dn700x.zip
-Install the Windows XP driver with ndiswrapper by choosing the command
ndiswrapper -i /path/to/driver.inf
-Check all installed drivers
ndiswrapper -l
-If the driver is successfully installed, the output of
ndiswrapper -lshould be the same as
mrv8000c: driver installed-Then install ndiswrapper as a module with
device (11AB:1FAA) present
ndiswrapper -m
-And load ndiswrapper (maybe it takes some seconds)
modprobe ndiswrapper
-You can configure your wireless card with the package
iwconfig wlan0 essid test-essid mode managed key 123456789abcdef
-For configuring IP addresses on this device use
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.12 netmask 255.255.255.0
