Get the Netgear WG511v2 LAN network PCMCIA card working in Linux

Is it possible to get the Netgear WG511v2 LAN network PCMCIA card working in Linux?

Well maybe, this card uses the Atheros 5001X+ chipset you can see some of the driver information for these at http://users.linpro.no/janl/hardware/wifi.html

They say that card MAY work with the Madwifi driver,
http://sourceforge.net/projects/madwifi/

Give it a shot..not all wifi cards are supported in linux (the manfs. just dont get the idea we like linux.. So while you are at it shoot Netgear a note and tell them you want one. The more people asking the more likely we are to get them to support us.
