If I remember right, you have to compile this driver. I, of course could 
be wrong. But just to check, 
#tail driverfilename
may give you the commands to build the driver, it's been a while since I 
used D-Link cards- I've had better personal luck with Linksys- but that 
was the way to get the compile, build commands if I remember right.
