Hi,

I have a problem getting an Netgear WG511 recognized by the system.
I had this problem with FC2 and have it still after i installed FC3
FC3 found the PCMCIA Card and installed the prism54 drivers and tries to start them during the boot.
For me it looks like a problem on the PCMCIA/hotplug side

Here are some error Messages when i try to do an modprobe prism54:

Jan 16 22:24:36 kernel: PCI: Failed to allocate mem resource #0:2000@e5008000 for 0000:06:00.0

Jan 16 22:24:36 kernel: prism54: probe of 0000:06:00.0 failed with error -5

I even tried to install ndiswrapper.
After compiling and installing it i configured it with the windows driver for this card.
Modprobe ndiswrapper brought nearly the same error message:

Jan 17 00:47:57 kernel: ndiswrapper version 0.12 loaded (preempt=no,smp=no)
Jan 17 00:47:57 kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:06:00.0[A] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11

Jan 17 00:47:57 kernel: ndiswrapper: driver netwg511 (NETGEAR,04/06/2004, 2.1.22.0) added

During the boot i get the following messages regard PCMCIA/Cardbus:

Does anyone have an idea what could be the Problem?

Thanks a lot - it worked great!

Let me know if you want me to test it on my system.
