Hallo Markus,
BKMB> Hatte versucht, eine D-Link DWL-520+ unter Knoppix/Debian 3.0
BKMB> (2.4/2.6)zum Laufen zu kriegen. Hat nicht funktioniert. Welcher
BKMB> Chipsatz drauf ist kann ich nicht mit absoluter Gewissheit sagen.
BKMB> Aber (leider) kann ich Prism2/2.5/3 ausschließen, ebenfalls Orinoco.
BKMB> Sonst hätten die acx100-Treiber funktioniert.
Ich habe folgendes gefunden:

DWL-520+ under Linux HOWTO
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D-link had announced that Linux drivers for the + generation of 802.11b cards that produces would be published in early January 2003.
Such thing did not happened as yet. Anyway, eusso published a binary driver for GL2422-VP 22Mbps Wireless LAN PCI Card which uses the same chipset as dwl-520+, the acx100 by Texas Instruments, the driver was drown back (I don't really know why) but I managed to get a copy of it.
Here is the driver; acx100_pci.o edited to support kernel 2.4.18.
I tried the driver and works with my Debian 3.r0, 2.4.18 system.
Steps to make the driver work;
1. Fetch and decompress the driver
# bunzip2 acx100_pci.o.bz2
2. Build the 2.4.18 kernel with;
CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y
CONFIG_MODULES=y
CONFIG_KMOD=y
CONFIG_NET_RADIO=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE=y
3. Get wireless-tools by Jean Tourrilhes and build them
4. move the driver to /usr/lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/drivers/net
# cp acx100_pci.o /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/drivers/net/
5. make an alias in /etc/modules.conf
# echo "alias wlan0 acx100_pci" >> /etc/modules.conf
6. Reboot with the new kernel, normally the driver will load on boot
#lsmod
Module Size Used by Not tainted
acx100_pci 181952 0
7. Get the interface wlan0 up
# ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.3 up && ifconfig wlan0
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:08:05:BF:66:50
inet addr:192.168.0.3 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::208:5ff:febf:6650/10 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
Interrupt:11
8. Check the wireless interface with iwconfig (wireless-tools)
# iwconfig wlan0
wlan0 v0.9.0.3a 11b+ ESSID:"Wesley2" Nickname:""
Mode:Ad-Hoc Channel:1 Cell: 00:00:00:00:00:00
This is what you will get if everything is okay (Wesley2 is the default essid as referred into the binary)
9. Using iwconfig and other tools provided by Jean Tourrilhes you should be able to set your desired options ('man' is your friend) i.e.;
# iwconfig wlan0 mode managed channel 6 essid awmn key off rate 22M && iwconfig wlan0
wlan0 v0.9.0.3a 11b+ ESSID:"awmn" Nickname:""
Mode:Managed Channel:6 Access Point: 00:40:05:CA:80:1E
Encryption key:off
As you might have guest my AP is 00:40:05:CA:80:1E
# ping -s 1024 192.168.0.202

10. You have a working dwl-520+ on your system, have fun..
Remember taking a look at /var/log/messages and wherever your logs are kept, because the driver produces a lot of junk that you might want to clean up. If you try installing your dwl-520+ on linux please send me your comments on its behaviour and please mail d-link and Texas Instruments demanding immediate publication of drivers and their source code..
