Vista - D-Link DWL-G520+ Connection Problem

Hi,

Has anyone had any luck getting the D-Link DWL-G520+ working in Vista using
the XP drivers?

I'm using the v2.04 drivers for the Ax revision from www.dlink.co.uk and
they install fine, but won't connect to my router properly.

The router is I am using is a Netgear DG834G and set to automatically give
out IP addresses and is on channel 11.

When Vista makes the wireless connection the IP address the card ends up
with is 169.254.50.18 but the router is giving out IPs in the range
192.168.0.2 and upwards. This suggests the card hasn't connected properly.

Also, if I look at the connection status it sends out data but never
receives any data back.

The final thing that seems wrong is in the event viewer I keep getting this
error:

Wireless network connection failed.

Network SSID: apple
BSS Type: Infrastructure
Failure Reason: Driver disconnected.

which probably isn't any good.

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Cheers

Gavin

Please ignore this - whenever I tried posting I got an error message so i
tried a few times. Looks like they all made it though.
