Solution Netgear WG511 & Linux 2 diff versions


Okay after digging around it's been noticed that the Netgear wg511 card has two versions. 2.0 and 3.0.

2.0 Cards are the ones that work and are made in Taiwan while the 3.0 cards are made in China. You can read about where it was made on the UBC label before you buy one of these cards. Even then open the box up in the parking lot and make sure underneath the Canadain license number there's a 2.0.

3.0 cards will not work with the Prism54.org's drivers. Hopefully this will be fixed soon becuase I got lucky at frys that they had only 1 of those taiwan made cards left but whole stacks of the chinese made ones.

I'm writing from the Taiwanese card now..
