I bought this card two days ago and just got it working. All my searching LQ and Google led me to ndiswrapper as the solution for this card. With the marvell chipset and "lspci -n" output of 11ab:1faa I browsed ndiswrapper's list and found someone had it working with version 1.1 and the win2k drivers from the cd. Yeah, it almost works. I couldn't set anything with iwconfig and therefore could never connect to my router. The same results occurred with ndiswrapper v1.2. After sleeping on it I decided to try the XP drivers and, BAM!, the SSID set, the link light stopped flashing and the activity light started blinking. I pinged my masqdial server and now I'm here! :) I rate this one a 9 because it does require ndiswrapper as there aren't any native linux drivers for Marvell, and because I've always had little to no trouble installing Netgear products.
