I would like to second this request - my brand new Netgear WG511 802.11g
card is not recognized at all in Linux; and it crashes Netstumbler in
WinDoz (even though it is an advertised card on the Netstumbler site).

AK!!!! Frustrating.

This would be a perfect presentation for the July meeting, since it would
be the first meeting after the Install fest and we have been trying to
have more basic, beginner presentations the meeting after the install
fest.


Help! Anyone willing to present at the July meeting?
