I also have a D-Link g520+, it doesn't seem to work reliably.  ubuntu,
debian, and gentoo all have trouble configuring the driver on boot, and
I manually have to do:

iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
iwconfig wlan0 essid Waza_
iwconfig wlan0 key KEY_IN_HEX open
ifconfig wlan0 up
dhcpcd -d wlan0

for it to work.

Then, after ~6hours of 30-40k downloads, the card stops working and I
have to rmmod, modprobe and then do the above again.

Other than those two issues, it works well, WEP works.  But I'm still
using ndiswrapper mostly, because it _just works_ add ndiswrapper to
/etc/modules, and ubuntu takes care of the rest.

Cheers
