Comments (this is where other people comment on the entry):

While you’re waiting for full Free functionality, please note that this card is easy to configure with ndiswrapper and the Windows driver. See http://ndiswrapper.sf.net for details. Works well under Debian Sarge and Fedora Core 4.

I’ve been using a WG511 without problems for years. Do you have the proper firmware version? I had to mess around a lot with the firmware before everything loaded correctly, but it’s great now.
