It's an evil card! EVIL!
I bought it because the WG511 was, supposedly, well supported in Linux! Now that I'm stuck with it I would like to get it to work properly as far as inserting/removing goes.
but, in theory, you shouldn't need ndiswrapper,
But I do need it at present.
there's a set of people writing a native driver for this card, I'll test it in the next few weeks (assuming I get time to play), as I've also got one of those laying about
If someone is writing a proper driver then I'd be very happy to try it when it appears.
(I've also got a proper Made in Taiwan WG511
Lucky you.
and an atheros based (madwifi) WG511T, overkill one may say for a guy that's only got one working laptop and PCMCIA/Cardbus slot ;)
How can I get the relevant lines to be included in modules.pcimap each time depmod is run?
Find what generates modules.pcimap, it'll be either a hotplug script or an init script (at a guess), hopefully, modifying the source should sort it.
I understand that modules.pcimap is generated by depmod and the results are used by hotplug. I certainly wouldn't like to try fiddling with the depmod source as I doubt that I'd have any idea what to do.
