Help. module load fails everytime (acx100.o, DLink DWL 520+ rev.D)

I have a DLink DWL-520+ (rev.D) wifi card. I tried to compile and install
the acx100 module (TI chipset) for this device. When I try to load the
module, i keep getting a error msg saying that acx100 not found.. delaying
initialization.

Can anyone help me figure this out? Thanks in advance...

Read my website (URL below).

We set up the exact same card. If you are doing just a simple "insmod
acx100_pci.o", it won't work, coz the make DOES NOT install the module to
the /lib/modules/<kernel name> directory.

You have to manually specify the full path of the module (at least, that's
how we did it!). I eventually put it into a script, which does the whole
lot for us (note: the page is debian based, so you may have to modify
things on another distro).

This card and module actually work really well!

"a perfectly working 11Mb wireless lan connection was established"

Isn't this card supposed to work at 22Mbit? Did you ever get it at that
speed? Or was your access point limited to only 11Mbit?
