I have a Custom Desktop PC with onboard lan (working) and a D-Link DWA-548 PCIe wi-Fi card that doesn't work and has no proprietary driver shown in the additional drivers tool.

I have attempted to use ndiswrapper using the supplied windows 7 driver disk.

I've been reading every post and how-to guide i've come across, but they haven't gotten me anywhere.
