| Interface: | Mini PCI in PCI carrier. (Can be removed). |
| Antenna Connector: | RP-SMA. |
| Device Information: | 168c:0013 (rev 01) |
| Notes: | Rev 01 works fine with Madwifi(ng?) under Ubuntu 7.04 with NetworkManager. Rev 02 has a TI chip, and is not compatible (Device Information : 104c:9066, Work with ndiswrapper). Rev 03 has a Marvell Chip, and is also not compatible (Device Information : 11ab:1faa (rev 03), Work with ndiswrapper) |
WG311T
| Chipset: | AR5002G (b/g) (AR5212) |
| URL: | http://www.netgear.com/[...] |
| Interface: | PCI |
| Antenna Connector: | RP-SMA |
| Device Information: | 0x168c:0013 |
| Notes | 802.11g works well. Tested in AP mode with version 0.9.1- works well in 802.11g and 802.11b modes, M$ windows station with WG511T reports 108,0 Mb/s (ap must have turbo mode set on) - but this is not confirmed by speed tests. From www.netgear.com: "Super G only works in wireless channel 6." 802.11b mode can not be set explicitly, supported modes are; mode 0 - auto b/g, and mode 3 - g only. Seems to have some IRQ? issues with a Asus motherboard P5BW-LA |
WG511T
| Chipset: | AR5001 (V1&V2=5212) (V3=5213A) (b/g) |
| URL: | http://www.netgear.com/[...] |
| Interface: | CardBus |
| Antenna Connector: | Internal factory test connector : Hirose MS-156 |
| Device Information: | 0x0271:0012 |
| Notes: | It seems max. bit rate is 54Mbit/sec. Same link-quality problem as WG511U. |
| Notes: | Works great in BT3......no probs for me....security testing is fast |
WG511U
| Chipset: | AR5004X (a/b/g) |
| URL: | http://www.netgear.com/[...] |
| Interface: | CardBus |
| Antenna Connector: | No external connector. |
| Device Information: | 0x168c:0013 |
| Notes: | Works well. WPA/WPA2 works perfectly with wpa_supplicant. Seems to have a lower link quality than when running on Windows (lower signal level, e.g. from 20/94 on iwconfig to 70% on Windows under identical conditions). |
WPN311
| Chipset: | maybe the AR5004G (confirmed) (11b/11g/turboG) |
| URL: | http://www.netgear.com/products/detail/WPN311.php |
| Interface: | PCI |
| Antenna Connector: | antenna given with hardware |
| Device Information: | 0x168c:0013 |
| Notes: | Working well in ad-hoc mode, need more test for other mode Working well in managed mode with WPA2 (wpa_supplicant). Working well in "Master" mode. Mine's an AR5212. To use WEP authentication (registered) you need to set iwpriv ath0 authmode 2 as well as iwconfig key HEXKEY key registered |
| Notes: | Also known as WPN311GE if you are in Australia as far as I know and the one I have got is labelled "Made in China". AR5212 with id: 168c:0013 |
| Notes: | Working fine with MadWiFi SVN 20080104 under Ubuntu server 7.10. Running in master mode without any problems. The motherboard ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 need to upgrade the BIOS. There was an error "cannot reserve PCI memory region" |
WPN511
| Chipset: | AR5212 (b/g) |
| URL: | http://www.netgear.com/products/details/WPN511.php |
| Interface: | CardBus |
| Antenna Connector: | N/A |
| Device Information: | 168c:0013 (rev 01), 1385:5D00 (rev 02, range max) |
| Notes: | It is sometime referenced as WPN511FS (on the box) - same card! Works great with Slackware 10.2 (WEP and WPA-PSK). I use the driver for station mode connecting to an accesspoint (Siemens Gigaset SX541 WLAN dsl). The machine is a laptop (Acer 1362LC); maybe helpful for others working with this laptop and the CardbusCard? WPN511. Thanks to E. Hameleers for his slackware-packages and scripts. And, of course, thanks to the developers of Madwifi. Working in SUSE 10.1 too. And Fedora Core 5 (with livna repository). This card is also working with Gentoo on a ACER TM2480 laptop. Thanks. |
| Notes: | Works on Slackware 11.0 Kernel 2.6.17.14, testet with hostapd and wpa_supplicant (Laptop Toshiba Tecra 8000) |
| Notes: | Works well on Mandriva 2007.1 and Ubuntu 7.04 |
| Notes: | Model variant WPN511NA appears identical; installed on Gentoo via ebuild madwifi-ng-0.9.3.1; so far so good on ThinkPad? T30 |
| Notes: | Works well on xubuntu 6.06LTS and 7.04 |
| Notes: | Works out of the box on Ubuntu 7.10 x86-32 |
| Notes: | Works out of the box with Backtrack 2 Final and Backtrack 3 Beta |
