Just an FYI:
Ran my obligatory MS update and found that it had an optional MS-Signed driver for the DWA-652. Gave it a go and can see no good or bad from the experience. I had been running the DWA652_130 drivers before with no issue.

Old driver DWA652_Drivers_130:
ar5416.sys 1,268KB
D-link
7/23/2007
6.0.3.107

New Driver MS Update April, 2008:
Atheros - Network - D-Link DWA-652 XtremeN Notebook Adapter
Date last published: 4/7/2008
Download size: 350 KB
Atheros Network software update released in April, 2008
athw.sys 1,302KB
04/1/2008
7.4.2.105

Sure wish there were some sort of release notes that came with these MS updates. Done a few searches and found the driver available via 3rd party sites also. No release notes found from those sources either.

Regards,
Karl
