Hi there,
I just replaced my last wifi card tonight due to my GPU's drivers clashing with it and now I can't get this wifi card to work - It's the NetGear WG311v3, if anybody can find the solution, I'll give you a shoutout on my youtube channel :P.
Okay, so here is what happens, I have tried the CD and latest software download from NetGear.com and the same thing happens:
I install the software, it then says, to continue installing the hardware, please power off, ground yourself, insert the PCI card and reboot. Once you've rebooted, please continue on with the wizard.
I follow the instructions yet when I reboot, the wizard never comes back up, I try double clicking the installer, inserting the CD, everything, it just takes me back to step 1.
I've done a bit of research and found these Marvell drivers, also tried the steps on this link: WG311v3 WORKING w/ 64-bit Kernel - Ubuntu Forums but this doesn't work either, I've tried multiple ways of getting the .inf installed too and Windows says "The INF file you selected does not support this method of installation".
So anyway, I've been trying for hours and I can't really take this wifi card back - plus, I'm already behind in work and need to get this computer setup. Thanks SO much in advance!
EDIT: (2009-5-15 11:37PM GMT+10) Trying DriverMax, thankfully I have a wifi USB dongle that works on win7 and can use drivermax (I think)
EDIT: (2009-5-16 12:14AM GMT+10) Well DriverMax isn't allowing me to register, so there goes that idea.

Specs are listed in my profile if you need them.
