While searching for a way to get my D-Link DWL G122 wireless USB key
to work with one of my Linux boxes, I found several links that claim 
that there are "native" wireless drivers available so one does not 
have to use ndiswrapper, but I can't figure out figure out if there 
are multiple drivers to choose from and where to get the right one. 

Here are some of the links I found and some excerpts found at each:

-- http://www.atlink.it/~conti/articles/d-link-dwl-g122-and-linux/

D-Link DWL G122 is an inexpensive compact USB key and 802.11b/g compliant.
With the last 2.6 kernel it is not recognized. You can try ndiswrapper,
but I have found a better solution: native drivers under Linux
Make sure you have USB key D-Link DWL G122 H/W Ver C1 F/W Ver 3.00

From a terminal, with the root user:
# wget http://rt2×00.serialmonkey.com/rt73-cvs-daily.tar.gz
# tar zxvf rt73-cvs-daily.tar.gz
# cd rt73-cvs-*/Module
# make
# make install

# lsusb | grep Link ... should show this:
Bus 005 Device 003: ID 07d1:3c03 D-Link System

But on my system:
# lsusb | grep Link ... shows this:
Bus 004 Device 003: ID 2001:3c00 D-Link Corp 

So, I looked further and found that the chipset is made by 
-- http://www.ralinktech.com/ ... then to support > linux 
and there found a bunch of confusing different references:
-- http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Linux.html

That eventually led me to this website: 
http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php?title=Downloads

And also these: 
-- http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/rt2400/rt2x00-2.0.0-b1.tar.gz?download 
-- http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/rt2x00-2.0.0-b1.tar.gz

So, how do I figure out which driver to get and where to get it?
