This is what I've heard.
I'd like to get on their case about getting their driver out but I don't know who to chase yet.
(If anyone wants to post suggestions, please feel free, I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd like to see this chipset supported.)
Anyway, I called D-Link and asked about Linux support. They told me that in order to get internal specs for driver development I would need to submit a request on behalf of a company sponsored development project. I guess the key was it had to be on company letterhead. I have lots of that where I work and I assume most anyone can get their hands on some so it seems like a silly requirement. I don't understand why they would stand in the way of someone who wanted to extend the market for their product. It isn't like they are ever going to support it for Linux so yield to the developers.
So I am considering selling the card on ebay and getting an orinoco gold.
