The D-Link DWL-520 has a RG-SMA, so you'd need a RG-SMA to N-Type tail,
and then depending on the distance between the card and the antenna,
you'd want to use CNT-400 or LMR-400. with N-types each end, or a
N-type and a suitable connector for your antenna's tail or connector.

Helical antenna are only usable for connecting to other helical antenna,
due to their left or right circular polarity. They are quite
directional, so they're only really usable for point to point links.

No probs at all.
