D-Link DWL-G520+ Connection Problem

Hi,

Has anyone managed to get the D-Link DWL-G520+ card working in Vista with
the XP drivers?

I'm using the v2.04 Ax driver from www.dlink.co.uk and it installs fine, but
the card won't connect to my router properly.

My router is a Netgear DG834G, set to wireless channel 11 and to
automatically give out IP addresses.

When Vista reports that my card has connected to the router the card has an
IP address of 169.254.50.18 even though my router is giving out IP address
from 192.168.0.2 and upwards. This suggests that the card hasn't connected
to the router properly. Setting the IP address manually doesn't help.

Also, when I look at the connection status it is sending out data but never
receiving any back.

One last thing i've noticed is that in the event viewer I keep getting this
error:

Microsoft-Windows-WLAN-AutoConfig

Wireless network connection failed.

Network SSID: apple
BSS Type: Infrastructure
Failure Reason: Driver disconnected.

which probably isn't very good.

This setup works fine under XP.

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks

Gavin
 
Please ignore this - whenever I tried posting I got an error message so i
tried a few times. Looks like they all made it though.
 
I used the Gigabyte Atheron drivers for my Dlink DWL-G520 card as there are
no Dlink supplied drivers - works like a charm
