d-link dwa-510 ridiculously slooow on hardy

**dexter.deepak** · August 18th, 2008

i am fed up with my bad-luck now

just bought a new wireless card (d-link dwa-510) for my ubuntu-hardy system, which sucks over ubuntu but works pretty good on my windows system.i have a slooow (slower than dial-up modems) speed on ubuntu; all my friends are rolling down their ways using the same card on their windows machine...and this is the time i was looking to kick windows out of my life!!
please help me now now now, or i am thinking of a suicide

You could return it and get a different one.

You can check this page to see if it's compatible:

doesnt seem to be a good option ..
my uncle bought it miles from my present location, an am in an urgent need of internet connection right now.
any other ideas ?

So did you do what Jim advised and check out your card at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported?

internet was so slow that time that i couldnt open that page at that time on ubuntu. i had a view from windows, and couldnt see my card in the supported list..also fould some bug related to the card on hardy.
so what should i do now ? is there some hope for me ..or should i reconsider a suicide ?

The only other thing I can think of is to try using Ndiswrapper with the Windows driver instead.

i have already tried this, but still its all the same for me.

i just got this page saying that my card is supported on linux.
linux-wless.passys.nl/query_part.php?brandname=D-Link

i have downloaded the drivers seperately, but sont know how to install it, can someone help me...i am attaching the file too.

So perhaps the ndiswrapper-windows driver is clashing and fighting with a linux driver that is also loading. If so you need to remove and also 'blacklist' the linux driver so it will not start in future. See:
