The minipci version is inserted onto a PCI card. At least, it was for me 
when I got the DWL-G520:

There are two gotchas:
- It must be hardware revision A2 (printed on box)
- Requires-Some-Assembly (tm):

My antenna jack soldering job on the main antenna looks cruddy, but the 
second one looks so good it could just as well have come from the factory.

Anyway, I suppose this card isn't for everyone, though I do know that 
you can get just the minipci card. I found the soldering fun, personally.

I'm no expert when it comes to debugging, but I'll see if I can catch 
where in the code it goes wrong. I'm hoping it's something as simple as 
adding an extra check.
