It doesn't give me much confidence when they list the Netgear WG311 which according to the Atheros compatability list now doesn't work because the chip has been changed.
I've got a WG511T which works perfectly, don't know about the 311, never sued one. Sorry.
Yes but that isn't PCI is it? Cardbus I believe.
You're right, it is Cardbus... which is PCI in a PCMCIA slot, so technically it's PCI :-)
Why are you using such an ancient kernel? Try building against a 2.6 kernel.
Because if I use a 2.6 kernel I have to sit and wait for around 5 minutes before my machine starts to boot. It doesn't do that with a 2.4.
Some time ago I saw a number of people report the same problem but never saw a remedy.
I've never heard of this problem before. I'm using 2.6.17.7 on my machines with no problems.
Good luck in your hunt for an Atheros based card
