You don't mention whether you have a ver 3 or a ver 4 wpc11. They
changed the entire chipset without changing the part number for this
card. Ver 3 is a Prism chipset, well supported. However, version 4
is a Realtek chipset, which is not yet supported. Critical to note
the difference between versions when using a wpc11.
