I also have the D-link DWL-G520+. I can get it connected to the internet fine if "emerge acx" I do the following everytime I boot:
Code: | ifconfig wlan0 up
iwconfig wlan0 essid MYWIRELESSROUTERESSID
dhcpcd wlan0 |
(If you don't know the ESSID of your wireless router, do "ifconfig wlan0 up" then "iwlist wlan0 scan"). There is no encryption.
Now, obviously I want Linux to automatically link me up with my router every time I boot, but I don't want to do it with a script as above. So I did this:
Code: | ln -s /etc/init.d/net.lo /etc/init.d/net.wlan0
rc-update add net.wlan0 default |
Then I edited /etc/conf.d/net and added these lines to it:
Code: | modules=( "iwconfig" )
config_MYWIRELESSROUTERESSID=( "dhcp" ) |
But now on boot it doesn't connect!!! I just get these error messages:
Code: | Configuring wireless network for wlan0
no access points found
Couldn't find any access points on wlan0
Failed to configure wireless for wlan0 |
Can anyone help me out? What am I doing wrong??! Thanks. |

Hello Everybody,
There are two things I found buried deep in the documentation of this driver.
First, the interface must be up to do anything. For those of us who use DCHP this is not generally the case.
As Dreadhead points out, set an address with ifconfig, or alternatively just specify up.
Secondly, (and the thing that was killing me) is that you must explicitly set the mode to Ad-hoc or Managed.
Auto will cause the card to do nothing.
Good luck. _________________ Nothing is too wonderful to be true, if it be consistent with the laws of nature -- Michael Faraday |

I got mine working on WEP using a script in local.start that basically does the following:
Code: | ifconfig wlan0 up
iwconfig wlan0 essid MYESSID
iwconfig wlan0 key MY_WEP_KEY
dhcpcd wlan0 |
No WPA for the time being alas. |
