Would someone please offer me
knowledge about wifi cards or USB devices
that are KNOWN to work under 11.3.  The D-Link DWA-130
is supposed to
work according to multiple sites, but they offer
conflicting setups.  If
someone has actual successful experience, I would like to
hear about it.

from what i can find out there are no native drivers available according to:
http://linux-wless.passys.nl/query_part.php?brandname=D-Link

however make sure you have the latest kernel available. the libertas driver
(http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/libertas) supports marvel chipsets
but i don't think the one on your usb is supported.
i've had luck with dlink wlan card that look on the outside just like yours but
in your case i think you have to use ndiswrapper.

there is a good thread that might interest you at the forums:

from what i can see ndis doesn't work too well with that too . you might want
to have a look at rt3070 too.
can you post output of lsusb and dmesg|less?
also look at this :

a good guide to help you in you situation.
