Wireless card dropping (fixed)

I just installed a new DLink 802.11b wireless card into a newly formatted xp machine, and for some reason, everytime I reboot, the wireless finds and says it is connected to the network with excellent strength, however it will not surf, or pull an ip address. In doing some trouble shooting, I found that I need to disable the wireless connection in the computer and then re-enable and it works perfectly fine, but still cuts out once in awhile. I have a laptop with an smc pcmcia card that works perfectly fine and never has problems. Would this be a bad card, or does it maybe just not like my SMC router? I am going to update the drivers and possibly flash the card when I get home from work tonight, but has anybody seen this before, or have any suggestions?

TIA
 
DWL 520
I am not sure whether it is revision D or E, though.
WinXP pro, fresh install on new harddrive
Drivers that were included in the package
 
If its the Dwl-520 Get a new one... i work for dlink and those have been discontinued for awhile and they sucked.

But if itsd the dwl-520+ than use drivers 2.46 those will fix the problem.
 
Looks like it is a 520, however, I just need a cheap card for my extra kidz pc. I called their support, and turning of windows configuration fixed it.
