I have the same wireless card in my D820. As far as I was able to find out, there is no native linux kernel module (driver) for it. I had to download the windows installer, extract via wine, and import the 2 driver files into ndiswrapper, a driver emulator. Once inserted into ndiswrapper, just modprobe ndiswrapper and the card should come online. At least thats how mine works, and it works great. Other people have reported incompatibilities with ndiswrapper and some of the acpi functions on their PCs, but I have had no problems with this method. Good luck. -Matt
