In my case I think it is easier than that, in fact. The DWL-G520 is Atheros based and works (and IIRC the package was clearly marked with an Atheros emblem), while the DWL-G520+ is TI ACX111, which is undocumented, unsupported and should be avoided. Funny, this came up just as I was writing up some wireless stuff to include in my PF tutorial for AUUG2005. -- Peter N. M.
