'''Model Number:''' DWL-520



'''Manufacturer:''' D-Link



'''Cost:''' $69.95 after $20 mail in rebate (Frys)



'''Operating Systems:'''  Comes with Windows drivers on CD.  Linux drivers seem to be available from wlan project.



=== Description ===



This is a Prism 2.5 based card.  ''However'' it seems to require a PCI 2.2 slot for operation.  This is not mentioned on the box.  It is mentioned in the data sheet you can download from D-Link http://www.dlink.com/products/wireless/dwl520/ and explained in this FAQ  ftp://ftp.linux-wlan.org/pub/linux-wlan-ng/FAQ under question 4.



PCI 2.2 is a newish standard, if your motherboard documentation does not explicitly mention it you don't have it.



Hopefully someone with a system that supports this card will have something to add here.



For now I'm getting ready to drive to Wilsonville.



=== Update 06/12/2002 ===



Seems to work fine on Intel based PCI 2.1 YMMV



I have a DWL-520 in a rather old machine (it's a P200 running on an Intel 430TX motherboard which supports PCI 2.1) and am currently using the Host AP driver for Intersil Prism 2/2.5/3 with no problems.

=== Update 6/14/2002 ===



One of the most important things this works with is the Soekris http://www.soekris.com 4501. Namely that the card is 3v and the slot is PCI 2.2 or close enough.



I have deployed this in a decently old PII motherboard, the Intel SE2 based on the 440BX.



Also of note is that it works very well with the venerable HostApMode drivers.

=== Questions ===



Is this card really a "pure" PCI card or does it use a PCI-to-PCMCIA bridge chip internally?



Could someone please do a {{{lspci}}} on his Dwl520-equipped system?



I'm asking because I own a Tyan Tiger MPX dual Athlon mainboard with a braindead BIOS that doesn't deal correctly with PCI-to-PCMCIA bridges (they get no IRQ). And it's odd not to have wireless, you know ;(



I already tried different PCI-to-PCMCIA adaptors and even put them into one of the 64Bit slots, but nothing worked. I did even install Win2000 ( 8-X ) to verify if it is a Linux problem, but it didn't work, too.



So AVOID this board if you wanna do wireless.



-- ThomasWaldmann



  The best person to ask is JerrittCollord but I believe that that they are "pure" PCI.  I have a vague recollection of them only supporting the new PCI standard though so that they won't work in older motherboards.  Sorry that's kinda vague :-)  -- AdamShand



      Greetings. Here is the relevant chunk of {{{lspci}}}:



      00:0a.0 Network controller: Harris Semiconductor: Unknown device 3873 (rev 01)

 Subsystem: D-Link System Inc: Unknown device 3501

 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 10

 Memory at d8001000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=4K]

 Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2



        --JerrittCollord

According to D-Link, the DWL-520 will only work on a PCI 2.2 board (still quite rare). However, some people have reported success in getting it to work in some later PCI 2.1 machines, particularly name brand mainboards; I am currently using mine in a PCI 2.1 IBM 300gl P-II 350. If you have a PCI 2.1 board, however, don't expect it to work. The card should light up on powering up the computer; if it doesn't, then don't waste any time trying to get the drivers to work - they won't, no matter what OS you use. 



I bought this card because it had a removable antenna, presumably making it easier to put an extension antenna on, which I have done. However, as with most consumer-level equipment of this nature, the connectors are non-standard (this is a "reverse-SMA"), which means finding a connector will not be as easy as going to your local electronics supply store.
