Dear ***** *********,

Since the router is independant of the operating system, it does not need any
software/drivers to function. It just needs a network connection and proper IP
addresses for the settings to be configured.
You can connect a PC to one of the LAN port of the router and the modem to the
WAN port of the router and then the wireless client accessing router wirelessly.
At this time there are no Lunix drivers available for DWL-G510.
We are currently working to develop Lunix-specific drives.
In most cases, Lunix should be able to locate the drivers automatically.
Should you require further assistance with your D-Link products, please reply to
this message, or call toll free at 877-453-5465.
