Daniel Mattsson Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I'm too having problem with my D-Link WLAN-card, a DWL-G520 though. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigPimpin Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Depends on what rev it is. Some use Marvell chips. Others use Atheros. All wifi vendors have this bad habit. They change the chipset and don't change the model number. They all do it. Your best bet is to determine what chipset it has. Then get the pci vendor id and device id, and start searching the forums.

Thansk for the fast reply! The question is how to determine what chipset it is, I can't see it on the card itself cause it's covered with some fancy plastic with the D-Link logo on it The most detailed information I can find is this datasheet from D-Link: ftp://ftp.dlink.eu/datasheets/DWL-G520+.pdf Not a word about what chipset are used though. EDIT: Found this on a site found via google: Chipset:DWL-G520+ v.A3 Texas Instruments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPG Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 the easiest wat to fing your crd info is to load it in windows then use device manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigPimpin Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Another alternative is download and burn a so-called Linux LiveCD like Knoppix or Helix3. They are self-contained Linux discs that you boot from and run. No installation onto your computer is necessary. If you boot one of those then the 'lspci' command will also tell you about all your vendor and device IDs. They also give you some more tools for partitioning your disks, if needed, and correcting any problems in that area. As an added bonus you get grub which you might eventually want as your main bootloader. In that case you can install grub right onto your hard disk from the LiveCD, and you never need to actually install Linux. Of course, if you've already got Windows on the machine the simplest way is what OPG OPG said. Just use the Windows device manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DWL-G520 non + are using an Atheroes chip the AR5005 chip. The DWL-G510 there i have makede an installer for D-Link wireless cards where i did include the G510 from ralink so give it an try: http://dlink.moonman.dk/DWI.dmg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
