When I upgrade the kernel to 2.6.18. After lspci, I got this message: --------------------------------- 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88w8335 [Libertas] 802.11b/g Wireless (rev 03) --------------------------------- But the flash lamp on the card is not on. I installed ndiswrapper from yast. Installed its windows driver successfully.(from 'ndiswrapper -l' I can see it installed and presented). But the lamp is still not on and ifconfig can find any available wifi interface. How to deal with it? thanks I am using Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop 10. the default kernel is 2.6.16.21, my netgear wg511v2 card can not be recognised.

If I remember correctly, the v1 chipset is a Prism chipset which does have Linux drivers. The v2 comes in two flavours, one using the Prism chipset, and the other using the Marvell chipset. I don't think your method would work with the Marvell chipset. Jose, this post was about the v2 chipset, which is very different to the v1 chipset.
