hiya, im one of the unlucky few to own a dlink dwlg510 and its working fine
in windows xp, however in the vista rc2 its showing all available networks in
the connect to box but at the side it says "the capability of your network
adapter does not meet the requirements of this network"

is there a way to solve this and connect succesfuly with this card or would
it be better to buy a compatible wifi card? if so which one?
am i the only one that is having this problem?

many thanks
 
Hi jamieslaptop,

I own a D-Link DWL-G520 Wireless Network Adapter Card. Vista installed
the Drivers for the Atheros in place of the D-Link Drivers. I had to point
Vista to look at the folder that contains the drivers for the card on my XP
partition. Only the drivers can be installed, not D-Link's Wireless Network
Manager Software. You need to not worry about how many Wireless Networks are
available, but just connect to your own, instead.
 
hiya, ive tried all sorts of different drivers and they are all the same,
even on a clean install. i cant understand it, the chipset of the card is
actuall marvell, and even the drivers they provide dont work. it does connect
ok in ad hoc mode, but like i say the message saying it doesnt meet the
requirements of the network is really annoying.
 
Hi jamieslaptop and dayeliu,

I own a D-Link DWL-G520 Wireless Card. I just did a Clean reinstall of
Windows Vista Ultimate RC2. The Drivers for this card for Vista hasn't been
written, yet. But I installed the D-Link Drivers from Windows XP
installation. Coupled with using Network Magic program and its Wireless
Network Manager (Beta), I am not having any problems whatsoever, that you
are seeing.

I only installed the Drivers for the Card, not D-Link's Wireless Network
Manager, which causes problems in Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2.
(Blue Screen of Death).

I pointed Vista to the unpacked Drivers of XP and Vista installed the
D-Link Drivers.
