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).

..snip..

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


I'm not sure that this card uses the Atheros chip. Looking at a photo I
took of the card before installing it, I can see a stylised letter M, that
makes me think it might be a Marvell chip. The chip bears the marks:
"88W8335-TGJ"
"B13954A.2"
"0509E1P"
"Taiwan"


yes it is Marvell.

After writing that, I went Googling.

This page:

http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=List&printable=yes
also mentions that the wg311v3 card uses the Marvell chip.

However, it mentions that the WG511T uses the Atheros chip.


How does it help or is relevant?

Anyway ndiswrapper should work.
