mandrake 10.1 and Netgear wg511t


I've done extensive research and trying to install my wireless Netgear card WG511T.

I'm using the following instructions (put the http in front of the below links, I have less then 5 posts and the forum will not let me post URL's)
ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/index.php?Installation
madwifi.sourceforge.net/

I've gotten to step 3 and cannot get any farther, I don't understand why. (1st url)

When I run modprobe ndiswrapper it returns nothing.
root@JimLaptop jim]# modprobe ndiswrapper
[root@JimLaptop jim]#

Here are some details which may help:
[root@JimLaptop jim]# uname -r
2.6.8.1-12mdk
[root@JimLaptop jim]# ndiswrapper -l
Installed ndis drivers:
netw511 driver present, hardware present

also I have have my kernel source installed. I'm using ndiswrapper version 1.0 and MadWIFI When I install the WG511T card there is no beep.

Can some one please help me undersatnd why modprobe returns nothing. I also checked dmesg and there was no sign of the driver loading.

Jim
