Comment 40 for bug 231455

Hmm...that may be more of an issue than I thought. The W511v2 apparently uses a Marvell chipset (never heard of them) and there may not be a native Linux driver. I know Broadcom and Intel chipsets work out of the box on Ubuntu (Broadcom's need to connect first to download drivers, but this is automatic). You may have to use the Ndiswrapper to get it right. You could try connecting to a wired Ethernet network (temporary, just disconnect your desktop or something) and doing an update using Update Manager, then trying out Hardware Drivers to see if it comes up with anything. If this doesn't work, you may be stuck using ndiswrapper. If all else fails, you can get a different PCMCIA WiFi card (they're cheap these days), preferably something Broadcom based or even better Intel if they make external ones.
