I just bought a D-Link DWL-520. The hardware revision is "E1". I
looked for strings in the accompanying Windows drivers and saw many
references to Prism2/3. Here's what shows up in /proc/pci:

  Bus  0, device  11, function  0:
    Network controller: Harris Semiconductor Prism 2.5 Wavelan chipset (rev 1).
      IRQ 12.
      Master Capable.  Latency=32.  
      Prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xdd107000 [0xdd107fff].

So hostap should work here, right?

I tried the hostap driver with these unfortunate results:

Dec  3 22:28:33 CASA kernel: hostap_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL'
Dec  3 22:28:33 CASA kernel: hostap_pci: 0.1.2 - 2003-11-02 (Jouni Malinen <jkmaline at cc.hut.fi>)
Dec  3 22:28:33 kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 12 for device 00:0b.0
Dec  3 22:28:33 kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 12 with 00:01.1
Dec  3 22:28:33 kernel: hostap_pci: Registered netdevice wlan0
Dec  3 22:28:33 kernel: wlan0: COR sreset timeout
Dec  3 22:28:33 kernel: wlan0: hfa384x_cmd - timeout - reg=0xd114
Dec  3 22:28:33 kernel: hostap_pci: first command failed - is the card compatible?
Dec  3 22:28:33 kernel: hostap_pci: hardware initialization failed
Dec  3 22:28:33 kernel: hostap_pci: No devices found, driver not installed.
Dec  3 22:28:33 kernel: hostap_crypt: unregistered algorithm 'NULL' (deinit
)

Is it the card? or is it me?

The kernel is 2.4.23. The systemboard (a Jetway Celeron) claims PCI
2.2 compliance.
