| Quote (mmullers @ April 10 2006,11:36) | Hi,
Any luck yet? I'm running a Netgear MA511 and I had a heck of a time getting it to work. Works great now, as usual, now that I have figured out the problem (I've often been called the master of the obvious).
My Netgear worked with some older Linux distributions, then stopped working when I tried an upgrade to SuSe 9.2. After much Googling, I found that my particular laptop bios had an incompatibility with the 2.4 kernel, and I had to start inserting the boot cheatcode PCI=ASSIGN-BUSSES. This is the only way I can get it to work with DSL (and many other distributions). However, the Netgear works fine on the same laptop with distributions that use a 2.6 kernel.
You might check lspci and see if your card is even showing up; I guess from your post it isn't. If you need help with that, let me know.
By the way, I even had trouble using the same cheatcode when booting the DSL 2.3 CD, but after I created the DSL for my pen drive, I added it to the command line options during USB install. All works fine now.
Let me know if I can be of any help, I'm not an expert, but I've been a Unix user for a very long time, and a true Linux convert for over 3 years. I may have some small bit of wisdom I can impart to help you.

I have the same card with the same problem.
My question is, how do I use a cheatcode with a HD install?
Is there a way to permanently setup that cheatcode? The Wiki indicates that it only works with a live cd boot.
Sorry, I am still completely green at this.
