||Interface:||PCI||
||Antenna Connector:||RP-SMA||
||Device Information:||0x168c:0013||
||Notes||802.11g works well.[[br]]Tested in AP mode with version 0.9.1- works well in 802.11g and 802.11b modes, M$ windows station with WG511T reports 108,0 Mb/s (ap must have turbo mode set on) - but this is not confirmed by speed tests.[[br]]From www.netgear.com: "Super G only works in wireless channel 6." [[br]]802.11b mode can not be set explicitly, supported modes are; mode 0 - auto b/g, and mode 3 - g only.[[BR]]Seems to have some IRQ? [ticket:1198 issues] with a Asus motherboard P5BW-LA||

== WG511T ==

||Chipset:||AR5001 (V1&V2=5212) (V3=5213A) (b/g)||
||URL:||[http://www.netgear.com/products/details/WG511T.php http://www.netgear.com/[...]]||
||Interface:||CardBus||
||Antenna Connector:||Internal factory test connector : Hirose MS-156||
||Device Information:||0x0271:0012||
||Notes:||It seems max. bit rate is 54Mbit/sec. Same link-quality problem as WG511U.||
||Notes:|| Works great in BT3......no probs for me....security testing is fast

||Interface:||CardBus||
||Antenna Connector:||No external connector.||
||Device Information:||0x168c:0013||
||Notes:||Works well. WPA/WPA2 works perfectly with wpa_supplicant. Seems to have a lower link quality than when running on Windows (lower signal level, e.g. from 20/94 on iwconfig to 70% on Windows under identical conditions).||

== WPN311 ==

||Chipset:||maybe the AR5004G (confirmed) (11b/11g/turboG)||

||Interface:||PCI||
||Antenna Connector:||antenna given with hardware||
||Device Information:||0x168c:0013||
||Notes:||Working well in ad-hoc mode, need more test for other mode[[br]]Working well in managed mode with WPA2 (wpa_supplicant).[[br]]Working well in "Master" mode.[[br]]Mine's an AR5212.[[br]]To use WEP authentication (registered) you need to set[[br]]  iwpriv ath0 authmode 2[[br]]as well as[[br]]  iwconfig key HEXKEY key registered||
||Notes:||Also known as WPN311GE if you are in Australia as far as I know and the one I have got is labelled "Made in China". AR5212 with id: 168c:0013||
||Notes:|| Working fine with MadWiFi SVN 20080104 under Ubuntu server 7.10. Running in master mode without any problems. The motherboard ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 need to upgrade the BIOS. There was an error "cannot reserve PCI memory region"||
||Notes:|| PCI ID 168c:0013 (rev 01) shows in my dmesg as AR5212. working well in managed mode with WPA2.||

== WPN511 ==

||Chipset:||AR5005GS (b/g)||
||URL:||[http://www.netgear.com/products/details/WPN511.php]||
||Interface:||CardBus||
||Antenna Connector:||N/A||
||Device Information:||168c:0013 (rev 01), 1385:5D00 (rev 02, range max)||
||Notes:||It is sometime referenced as WPN511FS (on the box) - same card! Works great with Slackware 10.2 (WEP and WPA-PSK). I use the driver for station mode connecting to an accesspoint (Siemens Gigaset SX541 WLAN dsl). The machine is a laptop (Acer 1362LC); maybe helpful for others working with this laptop and the CardbusCard WPN511. Thanks to E. Hameleers for his slackware-packages and scripts. And, of course, thanks to the developers of Madwifi. Working in SUSE 10.1 too. And Fedora Core 5 (with livna repository).  This card is also working with Gentoo on a ACER TM2480 laptop.  Thanks.||

||Notes:||Works well on Mandriva 2007.1 and Ubuntu 7.04
||Notes:||Model variant WPN511NA appears identical; installed on Gentoo via ebuild madwifi-ng-0.9.3.1; so far so good on ThinkPad T30
||Notes:||Works well on xubuntu 6.06LTS and 7.04
||Notes:||Works out of the box on Ubuntu 7.10 x86-32
||Notes:||Works out of the box with Backtrack 2 Final and Backtrack 3 Beta
