Netgear WG511T will not connect

[Samsara]

Hi!

I have a Netgear WG511T network card. I used madwifi, and now both lights on it flash alternately and it appears in Network Manager. I configured it in Network Manager but it won't ever connect.

Can you please help me?

EDIT: I'm using SuSE linux 10.1

Hello?

Is there anything after the use of madwifi that I should have done but haven't, yet? Anyone else who has an atheros based card, can you please tell me what you did after using madwifi in order to make it work.

I am having the exact same problem in fact the little devil is blinking at me right now.

When I figure out what the problem is I will make sure I post here.

dunno if you've done this,but, did you go to yast -> network devices -> network cards & configure it there ?

[brahan_7]

Yes, The card is completely configured in yast...
I created a repository for madwifi and installed the kernel modules that were available...
The madwifi version .9.3.3 is installed and the card is configured in yast but it still does not connect to the network...

[brahan_7]

In the installation directions it says that the modules may not load automatically how can I check configuration files to ensure that the modules do load automatically?

having the same problem w/ the WG511T. will be working on it the next day or so, if i have any updates i'll post them here.

fyi, my setup:

Suse 10.3 on HP Pavillion zv5000 laptop, KDE

everything else works fine (except built-in broadcom wifi, and pcmcia WG511T)

Hi All,

You may want to try ndiswrapper, here are a couple of links of interest...

Novell: SUSE LINUX 10.1: ndiswrapper

SDB:Ndiswrapper - openSUSE
