Is it possible to get the Netgear WG511v2 LAN network PCMCIA card working in Linux?

I know what you're probably thinking, ndis wrapper. I tried that but it failed. If anyone knows of an easier way (not linuxant since it isn't free) to get the PCMCIA card working, can they please tell me! Also, if there is no way, can someone please tell me how to do it on ndis wrapper without it getting an error because I don't really understand Linux's Console Language and prefer to stay with GUI.

Well maybe, this card uses the Atheros 5001X+ chipset you can see some of the driver information for these at http://users.linpro.no/janl/hardware/wif...





They say that card MAY work with the Madwifi driver,

Give it a shot..not all wifi cards are supported in linux (the manfs. just dont get the idea we like linux.. So while you are at it shoot Netgear a note and tell them you want one. The more people asking the more likely we are to get them to support us.
