i bought an netgear wireless WG511T pcmcia card for my laptop,however i can't not find the driver for this card. please tell me how can i find the driver for this card
To get in the list click Linux HCL in the site menu.
Next time reasearch if the card works before you buy it if you intend to use it on linux. Can save you some trouble from buying a card which isn't supported.

Got madwifi working. I just needed to install the right linux kernel. The default installation from the mandrake 10.1 DVD/CD's has version 2.4.xxx but when I do an update at startup, I get the 2.6.x version which is what is required. Things were smooth from there.
but i got this problem when i try to make it.
for i in ./ath_hal ./net80211 ./ath; do \
(cd $i; make) || exit 1; \
done
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/vito/madwifi-20040920/ath_hal'
cp ./../hal/linux/ah_osdep.c ah_osdep.c
uudecode ./../hal/linux/i386-elf.hal.o.uu
make[1]: uudecode: Command not found
make[1]: *** [hal.o] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/vito/madwifi-20040920/ath_hal'
make: *** [all] Error 1

i using fedora 3 with kernel 2.6.9
