Netgear WG511v2 on Linux
I bought the Netgear WG511v2 wireless PC Card.
I know there are no direct drivers for it on linux.
So i used ndiswrapper and installed the windows xp driver available on the CD.
Now, ndiswrapper says i have installed the driver
i then ran ifconfig and iwconfig
ifconfig
iwconfig
my /etc/network/interfaces file looks like this
The problem is i cant start my card. The LED's on the card dont blink. What's wrong?
