Re: Netgear WPN311 Wireless G problems

I just felt like "closing" this thread.

I had a Netgear WPN311 Wireless G PCI Card.  (It actually said 
"WPN311NA" in one place on the box, but whatever)  The chipset 
was identified via lspci as an Atheros 5212.

I tried using the Madwifi drivers (0.9.3 stable release) which 
should supposedly work, but they never did.  I tried on Ubuntu 
where the drivers are installed by default, and I also tried 
installing from source myself on Fedora.  Both times I had the 
same results:  Everything seemed to work just fine, but the card 
never returned any scan results.  I'm fairly competent with 
Linux, and I tried for a solid week to get it to work.  I can't 
be certain that the card wasn't just defective, but it's been 
returned to the store.
