[Prism54-users] Netgear WG511 problems

[Wedge_]

I've spent about 6 hours today on this (so far), so as you can imagine
I'm not very happy right now.
I bought this card because it seemed to be extremely well supported
under Linux, so I wasn't 
anticipating any trouble. However, the only way I can get it to work is
using Linuxants DriverLoader
and the Windows driver. 

What I've done so far:
- configured the kernel according to the README on prism54.org
- loaded the necessary modules (also tried compiling everything in)
- tried configuring interface with scripts and manually with iwconfig
- tried a couple of different kernel versions (2.6.8.1-ck3 and vanilla
2.6.7)
- various suggestions found on Google

I'm not getting anywhere at all, so hopefully someone can tell me what's
happening. The following
is my dmesg output, starting with the card being removed and inserted.
It appears to load the firmware 
correctly at least, but after that I have no idea what it's doing:

The card works fine in Windows, and works in Linux with the Windows
drivers. Distro is Gentoo. If
any other information would be helpful please let me know.
