The ethernet part worked when windows 2000 was installed, but I have no wired ethernet connection available when using the laptop, only wireless.

I did an iwconfig, and got:

lo no wireless connections
eth0 no wireless connections
rfd0 no wireless connections

The WG511 is an 801.2b/g wireless PC card made by netgear

I think if I can untangle the tar file ndiswrapper-1.53.tar.gz which I downloaded to my windows PC, and install ndiswrapper, then I would be able to install the W511v2.INF file (the driver). Previous threads have suggested that the install package used to be on the Ubuntu release CD, but apparantly it is no longer there.
