Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I have a netgear wireless router dual band N 3300, as well as a new wireless N dualband pcmcia laptop adapter. Cant seem to get it to connect with the 5ghz N range. I live in an apartment complex with 8 other wireless connections visible to my laptop. I just installed the new version of Ubuntu 9.04 as well :)

Tried using windows drivers with the .inf files for my previous netgear G card and the new netgear N card. (WG511 and the WN511 respectively).

Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated, relatively new to linux, changed over due to the service pack 3 of XP kept crashing my laptop.

ANy help in this regard would be greatly appreciated,
Yours Sincerely
Jason Klindworth.
