Did your Netgear WG511 say 'Atheros' on its packaging?
what does pciconf -lv say about it?
I have a WG511T and it works fine its a Atheros.

the WG511 useing the difference chip set i though. and here's my
pciconfig -lv lists:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x4e001385 chip=0x1faa11ab rev=0x03
hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Marvell Semiconductor (Was: Galileo Technology Ltd)'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
and some dmesgs:
cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=14, size=10000
cardbus0: <network, ethernet> at device 0.0 (no driver attached)
BTW,my card's type is WG511 v2.
I have the following:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x1faa11ab chip=0x1faa11ab rev=0x03
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Marvell Semiconductor (Was: Galileo Technology Ltd)'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
This is a Marvell 8335 card, and it works with the latest incarnation
of Project Evil in -current:
ndis0: <Marvell Libertas 802.11b/g Wireless (8335)> mem
0x88010000-0x8801ffff,0x88020000-0x8802ffff irq 9 at device 0.0 on cardbus0
ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.1
Note however that I've been experiencing a peculiar problem with my
particular card and laptop. The card is a no-name brand ("Mentor"),
and I'm using it in my Sony Vaio Picturebook laptop. For the most
part it works ok: I can initialize it, get it to associate, I can
even do WPA2 with it using wpa_supplicant. The only problem is that
after it's been running for a while (usually several hours, though
sometimes sooner), the laptop will freeze up. Typically when it happens,
one of the LEDs on the card will be flashing, which I think means it's
become disassociated or the re-keying interval has expired. Sadly,
since the whole laptop wedges up completely, I have no clue what's
causing the problem.
I haven't noticed the same problem when testing the same card with
my Soekris board at home, and I don't have another laptop or card
to test it with, so I'm at a bit of a loss. I've tried everything I
can think of to try and get the laptop to cough up some useful info
but with no joy. The fact that I can only get it to crash maybe once
or twice a day doesn't help.
I suspect the issue is related to WPA2 somehow, so if you're not
going to use that, you may not notice any problems. Give it a try
and see what happens.
