Comment:
I also have a WG511 and can't get it to work with ubuntu (breezy). But
I'm seeing different messages in dmesg:

[260861.820000] ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:02:00.0 disabled
[260879.062000] PCI: Enabling device 0000:02:00.0 (0000 -> 0002)

[260925.791000] eth0: no IPv6 routers present

(let me know if you want the rest of dmesg too.)

I tried running iwconfig manually (the AP here has WEP) using the
iwconfig command that works with an orinoco card, but it doesn't help.

This card used to work under a kernel.org 2.4.29 plus the appropriate
firmware on sarge, so I know it's possible for the hardware to work with
this laptop (which is a Vaio SR17). I haven't tried ndiswrapper.
