My sentiments exactly. I wasn't particularly happy when I found out,
but then the the guys at the store let me hand the card back for a
refund with no problems.

In my case I think it is easier than that, in fact. The DWL-G520 is
Atheros based and works (and IIRC the package was clearly marked with an
Atheros emblem), while the DWL-G520+ is TI ACX111, which is
undocumented, unsupported and should be avoided.
Funny, this came up just as I was writing up some wireless stuff to
include in my PF tutorial for AUUG2005.
