I'm trying to give my uncle's old laptop a new life with LinuxLite (love it!) but his Netgear WG511v2 PCMCIA wireless card has been the last piece of the puzzle I can't get to work.
The driver for the card with the Marvell chip is installed, I followed the steps at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDo...diswrapper but when I got to iwconfig, I get:
I stumbled across instructions on how to generate wireless-info.txt (here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=13024222) and this is what was generated:
I updated the wireles-info above to show the actual output of the script (I'm half asleep after work doing this project). I see a lot of solved cases so I know it can be done but the hardware is different so I thought I'd ask specifically about this setup.
Thanks,
Lynda
