Hi All:
I finished installing eCS 7 and now need a driver
for my PCMCIA  wireless card.  It is a D-Link
DWA 645.  Would anybody know which driver from
the eCS disk I should use?  There were only two
that I could find that were suppose to be compatible
with the 520 series, I think.
The one that I chose did not work with my card.

The DWA-645 appears to have an Atheros AR5008 chipset in it. You *might* be able to get this wirking using cbenable and GenMAC's wrapper for the AR5008. Note that cbenable is *not* compatible with ACPI (AFAIK), and there is no power management available with it, so it may or may not be worth trying. Also, the setup can be rather tricky.

I was thinking of the AR5005. I do not know if GenMAC supports the AR5008 chipset. If you can get a PCI ID string, it would be helpful, though...
