Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I just bought a dwl-g510 and i'm looking to hook it up on mandrake 9.2 this card is supported by the project. I found that this card uses the same chipset as the ASUS wireless card that ndiswrapper supports and heard that it should work for the dwl g510 as well. I could not get it to work and have since returned the card. However, I just checked the ndiswrapper site now and it looks like they've added specific support for the D-Link 510/610 series cards since then. Goodluck and let us know if you get this working.
Check to see if wireless tools are installed. Rpm -q wireless-tools 2. Install wireless-tools if above returned 'package wireless-tools not installed. Find out what kernel you are running: uname -r 4. Install the 'kernel-source' found in step 3.
Feb 20, 2012 I have a Dlink DWL-G510 Rev B. (atheros chipset). I've followed guides for getting various atheros cards to work on various versions of OS X. Most of them involve getting a kext file from an older OS X update, putting it the extensions folder, repairing the permissions, and loading it.
You'll need unshield to unpack the cab files. As root: rpmbuild -rebuild unshield. cd /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i586 rpm -ivh unshield.
6. Download ndiswrapper and wireless card driver to use.(g510 does indeed use the same Marvel chipset so the WL-138G drivers work beautifully) 7. Unzip the Marvel driver.

Cd into Marvel driver folder. Unpack cab files with: unshield data1.cab note: note the path to mrv8k51.inf, you'll need if for ndiswrapper 9. Follow instructions in INSTALL file of ndiswrapper source. Note: I had to issue the acpi=on command before configuration would be successful. Acpi=on modprobe ndiswrapper iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed iwconfig wlan0 key restricted yourkey iwconfig wlan0 essid yournetworkname ifconfig wlan0 up 10. Iwconfig should now show that ESSID and the KEY is set. If working then set the alias in modprobe.conf ndiswrapper -m 12.

Now setup ifcfg-wlan0 found in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts ( all items must have a value, most can be gotten from the wireless router/access point you are using) HWADDR can be found by issuing dmesg and you will get something like: wlan0: ndiswrapper ethernet device xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx using driver mrv8k51.sys The xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx pattern is your hardware mac addresse. DEVICE=wlan0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp MODE=Managed KEY= ESSID= CHANNEL= IPADDR= NETMASK= NETWORK= BROADCAST= ONBOOT=yes HWADDR= MIINOTSUPPORTED=no NEEDHOSTNAME=yes 8. In harddrake-conf under network-internet/manage connections, make sure that wlan0 is set to startup at boot time.
Above method has worked to set up two of my mandrake 10.0 computers with dwl-g510. It is actually faster than my hardwired connection was! I have encountered two errors when attempting to setup my G510 card on my clean install of Mandrake 10. I do not have my G510 driver cd handy, so I downloaded the drivers from D-Link's website. I did the same for the WL-138g drivers downloaded from ASUS' website. Ndiswrapper was compiled from the source code available last night. When attempting to install the WinXP D-Link drivers, I received a 'missing zeroconf section' error.
That error was simple to solve, but my second error has me befuddled. When I execute 'ndiswrapper -i mrv8k51.inf' I receive a driver installed message, but when I attempt to confirm this, I receive this error: 'Can't use string (') as an ARRAY ref while 'strict refs' in use at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper line 324, line 1.'
I receive the same error when trying to install the WL-138g drivers. I believe ndiswrapper is trying to install the drivers, but I do not think it completes the task. There are files in the /etc/ndiswrapper directory, but if I execute “modprobe ndiswrapper” (after attempting driver installation) then execute “iwconfig,” there is no mention of a wlan device in the output. Also, I have to uninstall the drivers before I can attempt to reinstall them. I am not certain what the cause of this problem is.
I hope it is just a driver issue. I could easily determine if this is the case if someone could email me a copy of their marvel drivers (their.inf and.sys files) so I could attempt to install those drivers. Thank you for your time, ThetaPi.
