Re: Best driver yet for DWL-G650+ and DWL-G520+

OK, we Germans are into the "Do it Yourself !".
May be, somebody takes advantage out of it.
The problem probably was, that W2k verifies the vendor of the DWL-G520G card/driver, based on the information from PCI bus.
So I modified the USR11G.inf file according the information, I got from W2k-"System Information" about my installed DWL-G520+ card.

Excerpt from the modified c:\winnt\inf\usr11g.inf:
; For Win98,ME,2K
[USR]
;%USR11G.DeviceDesc% = USR11GAG, PCI\VEN_104C&DEV_9066&SUBSYS_16EC010D ;This was the original contents from USR
;Next line edited; Vendor_inf copied from "System info" of W2k
%USR11G.DeviceDesc% = USR11GAG, PCI\VEN_104C&DEV_9066&SUBSYS_3B041186&REV_00

Now it works. I will see, how good it works compared to my D-Link SW. What I have to say just now is, the D-Link driver had more features to be set up compared to the USR-driver. But I am more interested in stability.

i've done this too. and the driver works.
but i'm not able to connect to my network.
the utility always say "scanning..."
i'm using wpa for protection.

does anybody know what i have to do?

thanks

The best answer is for you to go back to using the "dwl-g520+_rev_ax_drv_v204.zip" driver which was linked to earlier in this thread.

Otherwise you'll have to troubleshoot from the ground up.
I couldn't connect with Microsoft's integrated wireless support until AFTER I had used the USR utility to configure the link. Try turning WPA off as a test and try again.
