Bill, does your card have a version number on it? I have just tried
installing a new WG511 card and not had the same luck as you. On the
back of the card it says v3.0 (tiny letters just under "CE0336"). I
saw someone else had problems with this revision of the card too.
In my case, when the driver loads all right when I plug the card in,
but the firmware load seems to fail when I use ifconfig to bring up
the interface. This is from dmesg:

I have some leads I can follow up, but I just wanted to confirm your
working card was not the exact same revision as mine.
