None of these guys support linux - so no point calling them and asking for linux support. The thing to do is - findout which chipset is used in the device - and try using the apporpriate dirver. I have a ibm a/b mini-pci card - and I can use it with madwifi driver. Internally it is a atheros chipset - and madwifi driver supports a bunch of atheros chipset models. I also have a very old lucent wavelan 'silver' pcmcia-card (prism2 chipset?) which works fine with wvlan_cs and orinoco_cs drivers. I believe some of D-Link's a/b cards are atheros chipsets - and you might have success with the madwifi driver. You might want to check the maling lists for the following http://sourceforge.net/projects/madwifi/ (for atheros based cards) http://prism54.org/supported_cards.php http://hostap.epitest.fi/ (for prism based cards) Good luck.
