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"

The best way to find out the chip set is to post the result of "cat
/proc/bus/pci/devices" here.


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.
