I have had problems with this card and ndis driver under 5.4 Release. I
upgraded my system to the 6.0 Release and it worked fine. 

To get the driver working, you have first to bild a module for the
FreeBSD kernel from Windows drivers supplied with your card. 
I used ndisgen to convert the driver. You will get some files after the
conversion you will a couple of files. 
Then you can load the converted module with kldload +absolute path to
the converted module. You can check dmesg to ensure the module was
loaded successfully. You will see something like that:

ndis0: <D-Link AirPlus G+ DWL-G520+ Wireless PCI Adapter> mem
0xcfffa000-0xcfffbfff,0xcffc0000-0xcffdffff irq 19 at device 11.0 on
pci0

Afterwards you have to load the wlan_wep module to get the wep
encryption working.
Now you can configure the network settings with ifconfig.
