P.S. I also got the latest drivers from the web:
http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/WG311v2.asp
ftp://downloads.netgear.com/files/wg311v2_v2_0_0_7.zip   [about 16MB]

but these turn out to be identical to the ones on the CD (and unpack into a
subdirectory called 1.2B6, which is rather strange for version 2.0.0.7)

I tried renaming /compat/ndis to /compat/ndis.hold, and reloading the
module. No additional error messages are reported - so it looks like it's
not even getting far enough to need to load the firmware files.

I also tried using the Windows XP driver, instead of Win2K. I get almost the
same:

May  9 17:48:56 foo kernel: ndis0: <NETGEAR WG311v2 802.11g Wireless PCI Adapter> mem 0xfaffc000-0xfaffdfff,0xfafc0000-0xfafdffff irq 11 at device 11.0 on pci2
May  9 17:48:56 foo kernel: ndis0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
May  9 17:48:56 foo kernel: ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.1
May  9 17:48:56 foo kernel: ndis0: init handler failed
May  9 17:48:56 foo kernel: device_attach: ndis0 attach returned 6

The only difference is the NDIS API is version 5.1 instead of 5.0

Regards,

Brian.
