So, I recently bought the netgear wg511 card from newegg. The reviews on newegg are glowing for this card, and how well supported it is in Linux. My package arrived yesterday, and I tried to get it setup with the prism54 driver. Turns out, I received version 2 of the card, which uses the Marvell chipset, and the only way i'm going to get it running is with the ndiswrapper project that lets me use the windows driver, but that just feels dirty. Plus, I'd really like to support a business that uses a chipset supported by linux. So full of hate right now.

I got my palm back from the repair depot yesterday. All seemed right in the world again. Except that just about 5 minutes ago it started crashing like it had been before I sent it back. Not happy. I've just tried to wipe all of my software off of it, but it still seems to be there. Very odd. I have a feeling I'll be sending it back for more repair work.
