[Wirelessdriver-support] Netgear WG511 not working: I want to help

[Pepe L. <za...@te...>]

Hi all

I am trying to use a Netgear WG511 (802.11b & g). After installing it =20=

does not show up in the Network Control Panel, so I guess I am out of =20=

luck.
On the other hand I know a little bit of C/C++ and would like to =20
volunteer to help with testings, etc.
I just would like to have some hints about where to start.

This is some info I have gathered about the card:
	.- This webpage supports it for linux. The ISL3890 is called =
"Prism =20
Duette": =20
http://ruslug.rutgers.edu/~mcgrof/802.11g/Documentation/=20
supported_cards.php
	.- This is the manufacturer=B4s model page: =20
http://www.netgear.com/products/details/WG511.asp

This is the Troubleshooting Info script output.
It seems to have some trouble finding some files, maybe because my OS =20=

is in spanish?
Notice that en1 is being used by Apple=B4s "IP over firewire".
