* Figure out what the proper drivers are, I tried several versions (before and after the kernel upgrade), and i found [this one|good_WG311v3-driver.tar] successful

* [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Netgear_WG311_v3]
* [http://www.jimbo7.com/wiki/index.php?title=WG311v3]
\\In short it comes down to this:
* install ndiswrapper software(as above mentioned)
* ''sudo ndiswrapper -i WG311v3.INF''
* ''sudo ndiswrapper -l'' ==> should give you a listing of loaded driver
* ''modinfo ndiswrapper'' ==> should give you information on the ndiswrapper kernel module, if not, then your kernel or the ndiswrapper module is broken
* ''iwconfig'' should give you a __wlan0__ device ==> if no wlan0 device, try first __iwlist wlan0 scanning__
* ''ndiswrapper -m'' to ensure that this is loaded each time you boot your computer
* ''iwlist wlan0 scan'' should give you a list of availabel access points
* add ndiswrapper to ''/etc/modules'' to make sure the kernel module is loaded at boottime
Your config is save in __/etc/ndiswrapper__
And finally you do the regular IP configuration, ip-adres, default gateway, DNS servers, hosts
