Netgear WG511 v2 wireless card under Linux

It requires ndiswrapper.
Download ndiswrapper 1.10, ungzip to /usr/src, make->install->ndiswrapper->modprobe-> iwconfig->dhclient, it works!

Note:
1. In Ubuntu 5.10, you must have build-essential, fakeroot installed, then "make deb" to generate two deb packages.
2. In Fedora Core 4, you can "make rpm" to generate two rpm packages.
3. If your wireless network use WEP authentication, you have to get your passphrase key in hex digits. I found "key s:" option of iwconfig doesn't work ;)
