DWL-AG520
| Chipset: | AR5212 (a/b/g). In my card, the surface of the chip itself reads 'AR5212A-00' |
| Chipset Revision: | H/W: A1. This 'hardware version' number is printed next to the serial number, in the barcode sticker usually at the back of the box, or next to the serial number barcode in the card itself. I don't know if there are any other revisions out there, but my AG520 worked fine and it was an A1. |
| URL: | http://www.dlink.com/search/?qry=DWL-AG520&x=6&y=11 |
| URL: | http://www.dlink.com.sg/products/?pid=16 |
| Interface: | Native PCI interface. |
| Antenna Connector: | 1.5m of cable connected to board via MMCX. Easy to break, and removing the protective heat shrink tube will reduce the strain relief. |
| Antenna: | Seems a bit fragile when fixing it to its base. Nevertheless, it seems to have a nice power/gain (or whatever you call it :). Without any tweaks, it covers my full house (110 square meters, passing through 2 or 3 brick walls). The reception at the furthest point is minimal BUT useable (at least browsing the net). I will try with a reflector to maximize directional gain (and minimize my upper neighbours from sucking my wifi :). |
| Device Information: | PCI ID 168c:0013 |
| Notes: | It works out-of-the-box. Download and compile latest kernel (mine 2.6.12.1), download latest madwifi (mine 25th June 2005), compile (make & make install), and DONE! :) **It works fine in Master mode** (so far, b-mode, as I don't have a g-card at hand), although some more tests will be done to see if it gives a good TX rate, or if it has any stability issues. But, so far, so good! :) This is a discontinued product. It has been 'replaced' by the DWL-AG530 |

| Notes: | This card has a broken country code, which must be set for the card to work, not a trivial process. If when you load the driver for this device, you see: ath0: unable to collect channel list from hal ath0: possible regdomain 18 countrycode 0 then you will need to fix the country code.

| Notes: | This information is for rev. C of this card. The other two revisions use a different chipset. For rev. C1 to work, I needed latest HAL from CVS. The debian package didn't work because it used a January snapshot. It works on Fedora Core 3 using compiled build from repo http://atrpms.net/name/madwifi/. It works well with RH-EL4. Rev.
