(Get the code!)
I also have a WG511 and can't get it to work with ubuntu (breezy). But I'm seeing different messages in dmesg:
[260861.820000] ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:02:00.0 disabled
[260879.062000] PCI: Enabling device 0000:02:00.0 (0000 -> 0002)
[260879.062000] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:00.0[A] -> Link [LNKB] -> GSI 9 (level, low) -> IRQ 9
[260914.260000] eth0: resetting device...
[260914.260000] eth0: uploading firmware...
[260914.480000] eth0: firmware version: 1.0.4.3

[260914.754000] eth0: interface reset complete
[260925.791000] eth0: no IPv6 routers present
(let me know if you want the rest of dmesg too.)
I tried running iwconfig manually (the AP here has WEP) using the iwconfig command that works with an orinoco card, but it doesn't help.
This card used to work under a kernel.org 2.4.29 plus the appropriate firmware on sarge, so I know it's possible for the hardware to work with this laptop (which is a Vaio SR17). I haven't tried ndiswrapper.
