Hello, all.

I'm having trouble with a NetGear wg311 version 3 wireless network PCI
card, that I put in an old HP Vectra running Ubuntu 5.1 (Breezy Badger).

lspci can't see it, but hal-device-manager can...

I posted about this on ubuntuforums.org and haven't had a great deal of
response, so I'm widening the search. There's a screen-shot of
hal-device-manager there:

I've looked back at old threads about hardware detection already, and
don't find anything that I've not already tried.

Any help?

Yes, the card is using the Atheros chip set. It's integrated into
http://cfd.linnix.com/kernel.php

If it's not loaded automatically (for example, boards with non-standard
IDs),
extract from modules.tgz and load in respective order:

ath_wlan.o, ath_hal.o and ath_pci.o
