Hi,

D-Link only has drivers for Windows 2000/XP available for the DWL-G122
ver. D1 USB wireless device. The device appears to be based on a
Marvell chipset, but I can't find drivers that work with it on
Marvell's website for any operating system. Does anyone know of any
drivers that might work with this device under Windows 98? Perhaps
there are devices made by other manufacturers using the same chipset
that have drivers for Windows 98 that might work with this device.
There doesn't seem to be much info out there yet about Marvell based
USB devices.

Thanks,
Mark

It's interesting that the A1 and A2 versions have support for W98,
WinME, W2K, and XP. Then comes the B1 version that drops support for
W98. Then comes the D1 version that drops support for WinME. I think
I see a trend. However, if the products look the same inside (same
chipset), you might be able to get away with using one of the older
drivers. Easiest way is to check the FCC ID page and look at the
inside photos. Compare A1 photos with D1 photos. If they're close,
you might be able to get the A1 drivers to work.

Wow, that site's awesome, Jeff. The pics show a Marvell logo on the
main chip in the D1 and the A versions have the Intersil logo. I think
I tried the A1/A2 drivers already without success. By the date the FCC
ID was granted, it looks like the D1 was released at the end of October
or beginning of November 2005.

Yeah, it definitely looks like support for pre-2000 Windows versions
has been phased out.
