Hi,

I've recently bought a new netgear WG511. But all the newer ones are
being sold as WG511 but actually are WG511v2 as in version two of
the product.

This version contains a broadcom chipset and will not work with
Linux. Except perhaps with ndiswrapper...

I recommend a Ralink chipset based product, all Sweex products have
that chipset, as well as e-tech i think.

Anyway, if you got money go buy a Cisco Aironet series PCMCIA
adapter. You won't get 11g, but it is supported beyond belief!

Everything works, the newer ones even have a sub processor
alleviating your CPU!

And it works with dsniff, kismet, etc ;-)
