Yes, it is the right driver, but for me it didn't work either. Fetch the latest driver for your card from the homepage of the vendor (http://www.dlink.com | I think). Compile it yourself (as a module) as it is explained in the readme. That should do it as it did for me. > > Another thing that might be important is that this is a revision A board. > I've heard that rev B boards had some issues.
