Like others have said...uses the 8139too module. Works quite nicely for me. N.B. The official badge on my card is Hawking Semiconductor.

Ummm...this thing works fine for me. It uses a Prism2.5 chipset, but the caveat is that it has no on-board firmware. It is downloaded into volatile memory by the D-Link drivers. This is why it doesn't work right away using the orinoco_cs driver. There are two drivers that work, one better than the other: HostAP and wlan-ng. HostAP's support is by far the most developed and stable, although I believe the necessary functionality is only in CVS. I have heard that wlan-ng has preliminary support for cards like this but I haven't tested it myself. You will need to download firmware and read up on how to upload it to your card. This is not for the faint-hearted, although it's pretty routine once you get used to it. See the HostAP mailing list archives, and read http://home.columbus.rr.com/andrewbarr/dwl520e1.html for instructions for the PCI cousin of this card, the DWL-520 rev. E.
