Need help with 2 netgear PCMCIA network cards

I am trying to configure 2 pcmcia network cards on my latitude cpxh laptop running 3.0 stable. I can get neither to work. The first is a netgear wg511 V2. LSPCI lists the device as 06:00.0 Ethernet Controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88w8335 [Libertas] 802.11b/g Wireless (rev 03). if I run Discover PCI/USB devices under tazhw box, it finds and loads nothing. I cant seem to find any support online for this card.

The second card is also a Netgear, its a FA411 10/100 ethernet PCMCIA card. lspci wont display anything on the card.

Any help would be appreciated.

Netgear FA411 10/100 ethernet PCMCIA card:

Insert card,plugin ethernet cable to live cable/dsl modem,router,etc.

Boot slitaz

Open 2 xterm windows:

xterm 1:

tail -f /var/log/messages

xterm 2:

#modprobe pcnet_cs

Look at xterm 1 for similar kernel message:

eth0: NE2000 (XXXXX rev XX): io 0x300 , irq 3, hw_addr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

#etc/init.d/network.sh restart

ping 8.8.8.8

To autoload driver on boot:

#nano /etc/rcS.conf

LOAD_MODULES="pcnet_cs"

Requires ndiswrapper + winxp inf./driver files:

06:00.0 Ethernet Controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88w8335 [Libertas] 802.11b/g Wireless (rev 03)
