The D-Link DWA-130 has had a number of hardware revisions: - Revision A1 (USB ID 07d1:3b11) contains a Marvell 88W8360 chipset, which has no native driver available. You would need to use NDISwrapper[1] for device support. - Revision B (USB ID 07d1:3c13) is supported by the rt2800usb driver, which is included in the mainline Linux kernel since 2.6.31. For Lenny, you can acquire backported 2.6.32 linux-image packages from Debian Backports[2]. The firmware-ralink package from lenny-backports will also need to be installed. - Revision C1 (USB ID 2001:3301) is supported by the rtl8192u[3] driver. - Revision C2 (USB ID 07d1:3302) and revision E (USB ID 07d1:3300) are supported by the rtl8192su[3] driver. - Revision D (USB ID 07d1:3a0f) contains an Atheros AR9001U chipset, which is not currently claimed by the ar9170usb[4] driver in Debian Linux kernel images. After using modprobe to insert ar9170usb, you can try executing "echo 07d1 3a0f > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/ar9170usb/new_id" to inform the driver of this device. The Netgear WN311T (PCI ID 11ab:2a02) contains a Marvell 88W8361 chipset, which has no native driver available; NDISwrapper[1] would be required for device support. > If so could you tell me where the drivers can be obtained, and where > to install them, if they are not native to the Debian distribution? For your DWA-130 device, determine its USB ID (you can use lsusb from the usbutils package), then refer to the respective page on the Debian wiki.
