Knowing how difficult it is to get hold of the WG511 v2.0 Made in Taiwan, I now suggest getting the WG511T instead, as it's supported by the madwifi driver, and tends to 'just work'. Jenny has one, and we got hers working fairly quickly (IRC support in #alug) within a fairly short amount of time (OK - I admit that I bought one in preperation and checked that it worked, and found the relevant debian sources for this so that it was a case of "add this to sources.list, grab the kernel headers, run this, done!") :)
Hi, yes: I tried to source a WG511 Made in Taiwan but not many sellers were willing to go down to their storerooms and check the packaging for me, oddly enough. So I decided on paying more and getting the WG511T. We had it up and running within a few hours. However, now you've bought this one and got it working with ndiswrapper, it seems daft to discard it and spend another wad of money. I'm afraid I have no clues as to why the card is not autodetecting though. What kernel are you running? Jenny
