I have a d-link dwl-520+ in my desktop, from what I can make out if I leave my desktop running I should be able to connect to it and internet from anywhere in my house via laptop.

Dude....you need a router.
You to hook up a router to your desktop (you do not need a pci card). You can get a very good one for $20 in the states. I have a D-Link wireless router myself.
I have one desktop hook to it.
Another desktop with a wireless pci card
and 2 laptops with wireless cards
Since I have such a big backyard I've thinking about getting this new wireless with MIMO setup since it says it has about 8 times more range.
I like to sit out there on the computer.

They are used to jump on a wireless network not be it's backbone.

Dude, all that would be is a wireless modem with built-in router.Thats a bummer man
Routers don't even cost that much and you'll be able to connect multiple computers, wired and/or wireless.
You should also buy your modem instead of renting it.
I own a couple Motorolas.

My modem is sort of bought I get it free with my BB contract but I'll check out some routers in UK most seem to be about the £50>£60 bracket.You should also buy your modem instead of renting it.

you can connect from a wireless card to wireless card, its called ad-hoc mode.
edit: but i beleive you can only get 11mbps over it, but if its only for the net, then its no problem
edit: you will probably have to bridge the conections on your desktop, and make sure you have sharing enabled on the wireless connection
