Does F8 support wireless networking out-of-the-box, including some sort
of driver scheme for specific cards/chipsets (similar to the
functionality provided by ndiswrapper)? If so, then how do I get my
NetGear WG311v3 (Marvell chipset) working without using ndiswrapper?
I installed F8 and it has not recognized it.

lspci -vvv yields
