Hi all,
I'm also having a problem getting my WG511v2 card to work. I'm using a Fujitsu Lifebook E362 (laptop), 400mhz Celeron with 160mb and a 4gb hd.
ifconfig shows only the loopback -- no wireless cards (no eth0, wlan0, etc.) The strange part about this is the first time I tried that, I saw "lo" and "sit0".  I've not seen anyone make mention of "sit0" before. But, since then, I've not seen that listed.
lspci shows the wireless card. (I don't remember exactly what it says, but it definitely sees it.)
sudo modprobe prism54 "worked" the first time I tried it (using "sit0") in that it reported success, and no error message, although that didn't work beyond that. Since that first time, modprobe prism54 results in a "device not found" or "device not ready" or something like that (I apologize for not having the exact wording, but you should get the picture...).
My Xircom NIC seems to work ok, but for me, needing a wired connection defeats the purpose of having a laptop.
Any help or suggestions anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated. (Oh, and I don't jack about Linux yet; I'd never laid hands on it before last week...)
