Netgear WG311 (v1) + WPA problems on FC3

[Bogdan Palos]

Hi all,
i installed FC3 on my HT-ed P4 (kernel 2.6.9-1.667smp) and i can't seem to 
get my WG311 card to work properly. It has the Atheros chipset since it's a 
v1 model.

I tried ndiswrapper 0.11 + wpa_supplicant 0.25 but the conection seems to 
break after few minutes. Meanwhile i can surf the net, use Yum, etc....Using 
the -dd option it shows a few successfull WPA key negotiations but after a 
while it gets stuck with something like "Cancelling request timeout". Then i 
have to killall wpa_supplicant, ifdown wlan0 and restart it with ifup 
wlan0...and so on.

Tried ndiswrapper 0.12 and it locked up my system...

Tried to compile madwifi + wpa_supplicant, but never got as far as wpa 
configuration since madwifi is a pain to compile...i tried the latest cvs 
snapshot tarball and after stage 2 it gives me plenty of warnings. However 
the modules that need to be loaded are nowhere to be found according to the 
How-To on fedoraforum.org....(wlan, ath_pci and one more).

It's driving me crazy, on Suse 9.2 the WG311 works with WPA out of the box 
using madwifi so it has to be a compilation problem for madwifi. (at least 
the cvs tarball).

I'd appreciate any help, many thanks in advance!
