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.
It is well supported, as long as it's the right version ;)
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.
http://jbnote.free.fr/prism54usb/ <-- that's the driver for the prism54 softmac based cards (as in made in china), I've not had a chance to try it myself yet, so it could well not work. I need to read the source some more to work out what it's building and why then I should be in a position to test it. Looks like a reasonable project, probably with a look if all else fails.
I'm afraid that I can't help with ndiswrapper, it has *never* worked for me... but if your Made in China card is the same as mine, the kernel picks it up and tries to load the prism54 drivers... so, first step is to blacklist the prism54 driver from hotplug and discover (if you've got discover installed).
