Now that i finally got BL installed correctly
and booting from my hard-drive, the only thing
left is to get the internet connection going.

I happen to have exactly the same ethernet card:
D-Link AirPlus XtremeG DWL-G650. I've been reading
a lot about it on various internet forums, but
am totally confused about even being able to
identify it properly. The chipset was changed
from Prism to Atheros, but i can't tell when.

My card says:
H/W Ver. B5 F/W Ver. 2.54

Since my BL is working OK with the 2.2.26 kernel,
i really don't want to change it. But i've
downloaded and tried insmod with every one of
the modules available at the BL website, and
every one of them gave me the "no local host"
with ping.

Please help.
