cant find drivers for wireless card for ubuntu

[Dead_reckon]

i also cant seem to find the chipset for my card... my card is this: D-link airplus G DWL-G510 wireless PCI adapter (rev. B)

i have searched google many times, and come up iwth nothing, i REALLY need help with this one, my second OS (ubuntu) is useless with out my wireless card...  i really wish my dad would have let me choose the card, he payed nearly $50 for this stupid card at a local computer shop, i could have gotten a better one online.

oh, another question, it has nothing to do with my wireless card, but does anyone know the size of the fan on a 478 socket intel proccessor, i need to get another, the bearings went out on mine, and yet again, a part my dad choose.

Possible solutions:

MadWifi
ndiswrapper (which allows you to use some Windows wireless LAN drivers in Linux)
D-Link's own page of open source drivers

Recommend you ask in the hardware section re your fan.  I haven't got a clue.

ok, thanks... and btw, i always fear floating heads, heads should stay attached, lol

Just get a new heatsink/fan combo. They are cheap and all 478 models are interchangeable with all 478 CPU's. A fan by itself would probably cost the same ($10)

Exactly my point.  But it came off, so what can you do?  :-/

[Dead_reckon]

lol, true, ill try to use the ndiswrapper, all it does is extract my windows drivers right?

Pass.  Read The Fine Manual.  

Other people have got it to work with that family of wireless card.

Oh, by the way, you're scared of my avatar?!!!

[Dead_reckon]

no, scared of "disembodied" head in general, i played the original Jason game for NES and you have to kill jasons mothers disembodied head... i played that when i was like 8 or 9, so, i dont really care for floatin heads, or 2d jasons that pop out of no where for that matter. ill read the manual, got nothin better to do till my dad gets me a floppy to put it on, dont see any reason to waste a cd r on a archive that isnt even 1mb

And I, in turn, must confess that I don't much care for the Grim Reaper.
