Info
Seems like its the same card regardless of whether it is manufactured in China or Taiwan.
Debian testing, Linux 2.6.10-1-686, Ndiswrapper 1.0, WPA_Supplicant CVS (2005-02-09). Note: Using driver netwg511 (NETGEAR, 09/06/2004, 2.1.25), so far WEP-128 and WPA-PSK all seem to work.
Mandrake 10.1, Linux 2.6.8.1-24mdk, ndiswrapper 1.1, WEP Note: Mandrake automatically loaded the prism54 module, but it didn't work that well. I unloaded that and used ndiswrapper. Works great.
Debian unstable; 2.6.9; Ndiswrapper 0.12 Note: Also works with winXP drivers (setup CD) and Ndiswrapper (1.0r2, on debian/sid 2.6.10).
Slackware 10 - kernel 2.6.9-rc2 - Ndiswrapper 0.10; works very good at 54Mbps, also with WEP (64bit)
