FINALLY after tonz of coffee and smokez i finally managed to get my f***en
Netgear GW511 to work!!!
Because no clear instructions were given, i decided to write some in order
to save your time. So 'ere we go!!
1) Download the latest kernel version (2.6.1)
2) Download the latest patch of prism54 for the kernel
3) Download the latest firmware for the card (isl3890)
4) Extract the kernel
5) Unzip and run the patch to the kernel
6) Compile the kernel keeping in mind the following :
-include PCMCIA Driver support (probably on desk pcz won't be
needed
-include the Netgear (Prism) driver which can be found @
Device Drivers --->
Networking support --->
Wireless LAN (non-hamradio) --->
Intersil Prism GT/Duette/Indigo PCI/Cardbus
7) edit your /etc/rc.d/rc.local and add :
modprobe yenta_socket
modprobe prism54
