Ubuntu Hardy Heron vs Netgear WG511 v1

Dear Ubuntu. Please don’t go blacklisting the prism54 driver on me again? kthx!

For some reason, the v1 of this card (aka the Made in Taiwan version) doesn’t seem to work with the new p54 drivers…

For reference, in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist change this:

# replaced by p54pci
blacklist prism54

to this:


# replaced by p54pci
#blacklist prism54
blacklist p54common
blacklist p54pci
blacklist p54usb

    Thank you!

    That’s so simple…. but I lost 2 hours trying to upgrade my mum’s notebook from gutsy to hardy.

    I really didn’t understand why the card was not working any more…

    Best regards!
