You, like many others, are confused by companies like Netgear who, throughout the course of a specific model number's life, will use entirely different devices. The original WG311 (unmarked, but effectively "v1") used the Atheros 5212, which is supported by the ath driver. The WG311v3 uses the Prism GT which isn't supported. There was a third-party driver[1] for the Prism 54 family of wireless chips, but it appears to have mysteriously vanished, even from the Internet Archive, which says the pages were archived, but not indexed. You may find some leads through the Linux Prism 54 driver homepage[2]. Presently your only options are either the ndis Windows driver wrapper or using a different network card.
