I happen to know the answer to your question, but I'm not going to tell
you, you sorry excuse for a human being.

Dowload the zip file from D-Link that contains the driver, just unzip it do
not run the setup program. If you installed the D-Link Network Manager
before, uninstall it from the control panel. After all of this is done, go
to the Device Manager, select your DWA-522, right click and select update
drivers. Select that you want to udpdate drivers manually and point it to
the drivers in the unzipped folder. Then let Windows Manage the Wireless
Connection.

I'm in the same boat as the OP. I've researched your recipe. The
driver package from Dlink does not contain the vital driver
vwifibus.sys. I am posting from Windows 7 using a DWA552 to connect to
the internet.

I cannot get my DWA552 to work reliably in Vista, like it does in
Windows 7 because I cannot find a way to manually install
vwifibus.sys. Dlink only provides athrx.sys

I think you guys are running around in cicles because you did not take
the OP seriously.

I'll check back in a week to see if you guys can find a solution.
