Hi I am a relatively new linux user and am have all sorts of problems
getting my WG511 to work on the kernel 2.6.1.
I think I have followed everything from the readme files on the
prism54.prg site, but I have done so much choping and changing since I
am not sure what has happened.
I am able to get the interface up using ifconfig but am unable to make
any connections or see any traffic.
Here is some system information. please advise if you will require more.

If I eject and reinsert my pcmcia card I get the following messages in
/var/log/messages

Feb 10 14:16:21 Anthony /etc/hotplug/pci.agent: ... no modules for PCI
slot 0000:07:00.0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Also when trying to run Kismet I get a wlanctl-ng error (which I believe
is not compilable on 2.6.* as yet). Is this needed for general network
use??
Thanks in advanced.
Anthony.
