After about two weeks of playing around with this issue, I finally got the WG511 v3 Made in China up and running, including WPA encryption. My System: IBM Thinkpad 600X Pentium III 500 MHz Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Dapper (Gnome) Kernel: 2.6.15-26-386 i686 --- Install the Laptop with the WG511 plugged into the PCMCIA slot. A second wired network card is needed to connect to the internet an dget the updates and packages. Have this card plugged into the Laptop during installation. After the installation, let the automatic updates run and install. This way the kernel will be updated as well.
