He can try:

Product: *wireless* (not motherboard)

Adaptor

Model # (whatever it is for K8V DLX--difficult to glean from web
site....802.11b model?)

its a 802.11g card apparantly (according to my friend) i saw him fit the
card and there are no manufacturer markings on the card

can you give me any hints as to which model to select on the website?

I have no idea

While I owned an A8V Deluxe, I didn't have the WiFi -g card. (I think they
weren't bundled in the US.)

However, I think this is where you wish to be:

http://support.asus.com/download/dow...Language=en-us

The "utilities" tab seems to be the right place. The 7 MB files appear to be
setup utilities for the card. I don't have the means to verify that they are
the same as on the CD distributed with the card, but I'm optimistic that
this is the right stuff.

I tried that, and I think those might be for a Marvell chipset
(have names like MRV8KA51.sys inside). I think you can physically
examine the wireless card, and see the Ralinktech MAC chip
sitting outside the shield on the RF section. Looking at the
MAC chip can help you tell whether the card is Ralinktech or
Marvell or whatever else.

I don't think much of Asus's naming scheme for their wireless
products. Or of their habit of putting the drivers in places
other than the "wireless" FTP directory.

I tried looking on the Asus site, in places like:

Your friend had better dig up the CD pictured here, to get the
original setup wizard.

The part number on the card is WL-130G. It still looks
like a Ralinktech MAC chip. And yet the driver package here
has that Marvell stuff in it. (You can try to install it,
and see if the enumeration info matches, but I doubt it.)

Contact Asus tech support and ask them where the Ralinktech version
of their software package is. Because right now, the only one I
see is a Marvell version (at least, the driver files look like
Marvell ones - maybe there are some Ralinktech files in there
somewhere too). And I don't think Marvell bought them. Perhaps
there were two versions of the card or something. It just
doesn't make sense.
