I'm sure the prism54 driver won't work. The card (which is in the slot at the moment, so I can't check) is a ver 4 of the wg511. When I first plugged it in and the prism54 module was loaded, I tried my best to get it to work. I tried several different revisions of the firmware (linked from prism54.org) and it was no go. I'm pretty sure I found a message somewhere from someone else who never got ver 4 of the card to work either. The lesson I've learned from trying six different cards is that there are no prism chipset cards that work anymore. (which is why, I assume, the website hasn't seen much activity since June of last year) But that's fine, since the ndiswrapper works great. I'd have to use non-Free software either way. The only thing I want is the ndiswrapper module to be loaded on insert, instead of the prism54 module.
