=== 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.
