If you have the right revision (A or B) of DWL520, then the problem
might be incompatibility between your motherboard and the card.
The card is PCI 2.2 compatible and has a dual voltage support.  I have seen
PCI 2.1 motherboard allowing 3V card plugged in but failing to talk to them.

To be sure I would do some or all of the following experiements:

1. plug the card into another PC (newer one, or explicitly supports 
dual voltage and PCI 2.2)
2. plug in another 3V PCI card into your machine and see if that one comes up
3. plug in a regular 5V PCI card into your machine and see if it comes up
