A search on DLink's website says "this is discontinuted, click here for
a replacement product"! Nothing, zip, nada, except the chance to buy
something else from them. No old manuals, no drivers, nothing. Pretty
bad on DLink's part, methinks! Makes me glad I've mostly bought from
other manufacturers!
For now, I'll persue the ndiswrapper, as I do have the original CD that
came with it.
Thanks all for the help and ideas, I'll still be monitoring in case
anyone has a flash of further genius, and will report back on the
wrapper progress.
Cheers,
Simon

Simon was hoping to implement a native solution, if one is available and not too big a PITA to set up. A native module exists for that card model number, but there are three possible chipsets and some number of firmware versions to contend with (long product life cycle.) AIUI, the native module requires the latest available firmware and only works with one of the three possible chipsets. That is why I suggested going to D-Link's website to verify which chipset and firmware versions he's dealing with.
Wasn't this clear from the existing thread? - Carl
For any hardware I always advocate updating to the latest firmware/drivers unless there are known issues with the latest. Then go with the newest version that is known to work.
Those D-Link wireless cards have way too many hardware and firmware revisions per model number. You have to make sure you have the latest+greatest from D-Link. Their website is good for helping to identify the hardware revision and the appropriate firmware for that card.
