    I had my Netgear Wg511 wireless card working fine under 2.6.7 kernel on
    Fedora 3, using the instruction at www.prism54.org. However, I set yum
    to run on a nightly basis to update the machine. As a result, I now
    have kernel 2.6.10 and the wireless card no longer works. I get the
    following errors when trying to connect:

    DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8
    DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 10
    DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 14
    DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 10
    DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 15
    DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 4
    No DHCPOFFERS received.
    No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.

    Has anyone else got this card working with the 2.6.10 kernel? Any help
    is appreciated.
