The WiFi adaptor for the DS is a fairly simple WiFi access point. It's designed to be used only with Windows as far as I know. Basically it takes your computer's network connection and transmits it as a wireless signal that your DS can use.
What you can do is set a wireless router up to be compatible with your DS which means:
- Transmit in mixed mode (DS needs a Wireless B connection)
- Use WEP encrption, or none at all. This is a major security problem.
Really, it's best just to use the adaptor on an XP machine. The alternatives are tricky and problematic at best. This is Nintendo's fault for putting a terrible wireless adaptor in the DS.
