First i want to say thanx. Regarding ndiswrapper i tried the version 1.0rc2 and 0.12 The problem i have is that no matter what i try to use (prism54 or ndiswrapper) i get the same error message Another problem i see is, that looking trough all the faq and so i read that normally the firmware sholud be loaded first (or the system should attempt to load it) but that never happens.

For me it looks like a problem on the > PCMCIA/hotplug side > Netgear WG511 comes in three versions, alas. The latest version, version 3 (made in China) doesn't work with the Prism54 drivers (despite the kernel/modprobe loading the drivers fine). This is because version 3 is a softmac wireless card. Looking at prism54.org devel lists, it looks like softmacs won't ever be supported, since the hardware specs are not available. If it's a new card, I'd take it back to the shop and try and exchange it for a version 1 (or possibly 2 - some of these work, some don't). Worst case scenario, you should be able to get it working with ndiswrapper, but try using the latest version (1.0rc3), not the old 0.12 you seem to have tried. Unless the card is faulty. It's a crappy situation, but non-softmac 11g cards are becoming rarer by the day. You could always pick up a 11b card, many of which have OS drivers available.
