I have a Netgear Wg511 card and a Netgear Wgu624 router. I have 10.1 installed and I would like to use the laptop wirelessly. I tried going throught the control center to possibly install the needed driver for the wireless card, but the options were overwhelming.

Does anyone know the proper driver needed for the Wg511U card with Mandrake 10.1?

This is only my 2nd week on Mandrake, any help would be apprechiated, or a lead to another thread that deals with this. I searched for "wg511u" and nothing came back. Thanks in advance

post the output of lspci so we know what the card's chipset is

This is the output when I entered "lspci" into the shell terminal. I'm totally new, I have no clue how to decipher the following, unless the 02:03.0 is the netgear card wg511u. With that said, I dont know what to do after I figure out which one is the correct one. Thanks again for your help.

Atheros based cards are supported under the mad-wifi project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/madwifi/) or you can go with the linuxant wrapper and use the windows driver

Is there a reason you have two wireless cards in one machine

Looks like you have two wireless cards there, the 02:03.0 Broadcom-based and the 03:00.0 Atheros based. Don't know about Atheros, but the broadcom based cards have no native linux drivers, you'll have to load a Windows driver using either Linuxant driverloader for $20 (www.linuxant.com), or ndiswrapper for free (www.ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net).
