Greetings,
I need some help with my Netgear WG511T (V13) nic. Ubuntu sees it as
ath0 (using restricted drivers) but yet it does not. Please see below
the details of ath0 in both the output of ifconfig
and /etc/network/interfaces.
The trouble I'm having is this: the nic "acts" like it should (meaning
that both lights blink in a manor like they are connected to the AP)
however it does not.
As you can tell (for some reason) it's showing up in ifconfig with
wifi0. If however, I try to config wifi0, it pretty much breaks.
Please don't tell me I purchased this nic and now it only works under
Winders and FreeBSD (I assume it can work with Open and Net) but it
sure does not under Fedora, Ubu, or Cent.
