Hey everyone, I'm fairly new to Linux in general, but I think I have a pretty good understanding of how things work. Now, I just installed Ubuntu Intrepid (8.10) and my wireless card, the Netgear WG311v2 doesn't seem to work.

I've spent about 3-4 days trying to fix it, but it just doesn't seem to connect. The card and driver gets recognized, but no networks can be found. I've tried disabling the Network Manager, I've tried using ndiswrapper, I've tried using the custom drivers located HERE, but nothing has worked.

If you need any more info, just ask.

Any help is appreciated, Thanks.
