Martin, do this:
Download and install GetCardInfo:
http://www.unna.org/view.php?/utilites/GetCardInfo
Remove and insert the MN-520. The error will come up, no problem.
Go into Extras -> Extensions and tap on Get Card Info. You'll be asked if you
want to export the last detected card to Notepad. Hit Yes.
Go to Notepad and there should be a new note. Send the information to Paul
Guyot, he should be able to add the card to MoreWiFi or at least send you a
test version of the patch to try.
