Googling "DWL-G630 +Linux" (sans "") yields the following two as the first 
hits, the second is probably of more use to you.

It appears that your card may use a Marvell chipset, meaning ndis wrapper, or 
DriverLoader may be your only options (ie, there's no native F/OSS Linux 
drivers).

Good luck!
