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:

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

and there found a bunch of confusing different references:

That eventually led me to this website:

And also these:

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