I'm having problems with my new DLINK DWL-520. I plugged it in to my
vintage P-133 machine and OpenBSD regonised it right away as:

wi0 at pci0 dev 17 function 0 "Intersil PRISM2.5 Mini-PCI WLAN" rev 0x01: irq 5
wi0: PRISM2.5 ISL3874A(Mini-PCI), Firmware 1.0.5 (primary), 1.3.4
(station), address 00:40:05:af:0f:1f

It's the firmware that is most likely causing your problems. Check the archives for similar tales of woe using that (old) firmware on Prism2.5 cards.

Get newer firmware (from Dlink's website) and it should work flawlessly.

Not that my DWL-520 needs updated firmware as it's working ok but I didn't see firmware for it anywhere on D-Link's website, I only saw the 650 and the 520+.
