Netgear wireless pc card not recognized

[rosea]

I'm running Knoppix 3.3 from CD on a Dell Latitude laptop. My Netgear wireless pc card (32-bit CardBus WG511) is not recognized. Here are the results of running "lspci -v". I borrowed a Lucent Orinoco silver card and it is recognized with no problem. Are drivers available for the Netgear card and how do I install them?

It is my understanding that most of the 802.11G cards do not currently work in Linux.

However there is a company with a program that will wrap the Windows drivers for those cards and make them work in Linux. Linked below is the success someone had with the same card as you. However you may need to install to the hard drive in order to make this work.
