Yes - it shouldn't be a problem.

0.11. There is a 0.12 which is in testing. I could try it I suppose.
That's a plan.

http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/List

Search for DWL-G510. It's there:

Card: D-Link DWL-G510
Chipset: Marvell W8300
pciid: 11ab:1fa6
Driver: http://www.asus.com.tw/support/download/item.aspx?ModelName=WL-138G
Other: Works with WEP and WPA with TKIP cipher

However, and this I pointed out in my first email, this entry has a
Marvell chipset and the one I bought has Atheros. So much for trusting
model numbers...


Maybe I need to join list #40 and start askign ndiswrapper developers
questions about this...

Thanks,
Mark
