The MA401 uses the Prism chipset and the Belkin adapter is PCI 2.1 You can find these on eBay. I've had good luck with the two sets I have. I've upgraded the firmware to the latest and have used them in Access Point mode with HostAP drivers. Worked fine with some generic ADMtek cards. This page was helpful, though you have to watch out since some brands change chipsets without changing the model numbers. http://www.seattlewireless.net/index.cgi/Client_5fAdapters_5f802_5f11b Read some bad things about the quality of MA401 cards on the web, but the two I have seem to be fine. Haven't really stressed them though. Andrew Quoting Neil Camara : > Hey guys, > > I've given up with troubleshooting my Dlink DWL-520 wireless card.
