"The WiFi card which was included with my A8V Deluxe board has the
Ralink RT2500 chipset on it,link below.

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

ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/wireless/
ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/mb/accessory/

and the only Wifi-g I could find in there, was the Marvell chipset.
Your friend had better dig up the CD pictured here, to get the
original setup wizard.

There is a picture of the card with the A8V Deluxe here:

http://www.ixbt.com/comm/wireless/asus-wl-500g/130g-front.jpg

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.)

ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/lan/wifi-g/

The list here, claims the WL-130G is a Ralinktech:

More bread crumbs here:

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.

ill let you know how it goes whether to marvell drivers from the asus
website work or whether the ralinktech drivers for the 11g-2500 work
