I have the WG511 PCMCIA card. he connection works fine thanks to the
information obtained from:
http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/w...ess_Networking

That being said, the card doesn't connect at boot time. So my current
work around is to login as root. Re-inset the card into the PCMCIA
slot. Check /var/log/messages that the card was detected. The I execute
the following commands in order.

# /sbin/rmmod ndiswrapper
# /sbin/modprobe ndiswrapper
# /sbin/service network restart

The card then function properly. Strange but it works. The
/etc/modules.conf does contain the proper alias to load the ndiswrapper
module.

[linux]# cat /etc/modules.conf
....
alias wlan0 ndiswrapper
....

Please advise. Thank you.

Note: If that URL doesn't work try this one below and look for Chapter
13.
