I don't even know where to start to configure my Netgear WAG511

however, I didn't see the WAG511 listed - only the WG511. Anyone else
have this card that can provide assistance?
Many zip archives for Windows come with an executable wrapper that
merely decompresses the archive. The unzip program for Linux
recognises these archives and will handle them.
Try it like so:
unzip -t foo.exe
I'm having some trouble getting a Netgear WG511 card to even be
recognized by card services. The card is fully functional under Windows
so the problem isn't the card. The system is a HP Pavilion zv6015us
running FC4 x86_64. I put the card in the slot and cardctl
status/info/ident behave as if there isn't a card. yenta and the
assorted PCMCIA modules are loaded so not sure what the problem is
although this
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/pcmcia/pcmcia.html doesn't give
me too many warm fuzzies that it should "just work."
