Netgear 54 Mbps Wireless PC Card WG511v2
« on: July 26, 2009, 09:34:21 AM »
I have installed ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop but my wireless interface card doesn't work.  How could I get it work, any Linux driver for it?

Thanks!  Unfortunately I couldn't find the specific Linux driver for the above-mentioned PC card.

You have to follow "Madwifi Howto" given on that page. Try that and let us know.

I have been to the page http://madwifi.org/Downloads/0.Howto.Install.Madwifi.txt and http://madwifi.org/Install-HOWTO/Drivers/wireless_tools/.  I don't know where to start.  I am new to Linux.  Can you please give me some procedures or clues?  Thanks!
