D-Link DWL-520



Hello,

I just purchased a D-Link DWL-520 wireless card for my 3.3 system. I made sure to pick only from the list of compatible hardware at http://www.openbsd.org/i386.html#hardware, since I figured compatibility would be sketchy at best.

Much to my surprise, after putting it in my older (P-90) system, it was not detected at bootup (dmesg has nothing even resembling it). After looking through the archives, I found that, apparently, some DWL-520's work, and others don't.

I'd like to try to figure out if my particular card is compatible, and if it's not, if there are any tweaks (I saw something about firmware upgrades in the archives) I could do to make it compatible. Here's as much info as appears relevant from the box:

Model DWL-520
IEEE 802.11b compatible
2.4GHz, DSS
PCI 2.2
Reverse SMA Antenna Connector (the antenna comes out at a 90 degree angle)


Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Alex Kirk
