I generated the new kernel and rebooted the machine with it successfully. However, still I cannot get the kernel to recognize my WG311 NetGEAR PCI card.

Could you please help to get this wireless network adapter to work. I looked into the output from dmesg and there is not even a word to show it was seen by the kernel. > This is becoming a FAQ. The chipset changed in midstream from atheros to Texas Instruments. You need to use the NDIS compatibility stuff in 5.3 to make this work. It's very annoying.
