[driverloader] Netgear WG511 TX errors

[Matt Soccio]

I have a Netgear WG511, that works under windows.  I am able to load the
driverloader module with the wg511v2700 XP drivers under Debian Sarge
with 2.6.7 custom kernel and it lights the card up, however I can't get
a default route or transmit any packets.  iwlist
ap/accesspoints/scanning all show my AP and it's essid, channel, signal
strength, etc, but iwconfig gives me 0's for signal, quality, and
noise.  Any attempt to send packets (ping, www, etc) starts piling up TX
errors according to ifconfig.  Using route to check that my gateway is
working just hangs.

I have been over and over my settings on my AP and in
/etc/network/interfaces.  Because I can't send packets, DHCP will not
work, but even with static assignment, I can't transmit.  My onboard
ethernet works fine with the AP/router and can DHCP and such.

Anyone else have problems with a brand new wg511?  

Thanks

Matt
