[ale] DLink DWL-520 or SMC2402W wireless card Mandrake 10.0 anyone have any advice?

[Tom & JaVonn]

Jay:

What I discovered about the D-Link DWL-520 is that there are 5 models (so far), built on 3 different chipsets.  Once I discovered that mine was rev D (Realtek 8180) I was able to at least get a driver loaded.  Just got an access point to test with...

Try lspci -v, maybe first doing update-pciids (my model was in the May ids, not in March ids though)
