I downloaded the Windows installer from Netgear and ran it with Wine. I installed the "kwlan", "wpa_supplicant" and "ndiswapper-utils" packages. I installed ndiswrapper 0.55 from source, and ran "ndiswrapper -i" on the ".inf" file in "~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/NETGEAR/WN511B/Driver". Then I did "modprobe ndiswrapper". I got the following messages in the kernel log:
ndiswrapper version 1.55 loaded (smp=no, preempt=yes)
usbcore: registered new interface driver ndiswrapper
A little blue light on the adapter is lighted, but I don't see any new interface with "ifconfig -a" or "iwconfig". The only clue I can find is a lot of messages like this in the kernel log:
