Hi John,

are you sure that your Netgear WG511 card has a TI chip? Is it something
like Version 2 of the WG511? If so this should be mentioned somewhere on
the 'supported cards' page. The WG511 I own is working with the prism
driver and has an Intersil chip.

I hope that the manufactures of this card will stop to change the
hardwre while keeping the name. It would help the Linux-comunity a lot.

Kasper

You can place it in your lilo.conf file. For more details have a look at
/usr/src/linux/Documents/kernel-params.txt (or something similar, I am
working on a different computer right now).

According to a Windows box, this card has a TI chip .... *sigh*

I think I'm going to try an SMC2835W next ...
