Netgear WG511 Wireless card with Marvell chip

[Jaap Hoetmer]

When ordering a new 802.11g wireless card (Netgear
WG511) I found out when receiving it that this version
(V2 as it appears to be) does not have a Prism GT
chipset, but Netgear changed to a Marvell chipset for
that card. Investigation prior to the purchase led me
to believe I was OK with this card, as the Prism
chipset is apparently properly supported in Fedora.

I understand the only way I can get this card to work
is by using Ndiswrapper and the Windows drivers. Which
is somewhat tricky, as I also need to change the
kernel's stack size from 4K to 8K, and install the
Ndiswrapper and driver software. 

Do-able, but I was wondering if someone knew if Fedora
Core 4 would have support built-in for the Marvell
chipset. Either by including ndiswrapper and 8K
stacks, or by a native driver?

Linuxant DriverLoader is another solution, for $20.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Jaap
