Ah, this explains it everything. You are unfortunately a victim of Netgear's stupid
naming scam. The situation is explained at http://daemonizer.de/prism54/wg511/
The upshot is: there are two WG511 v2 versions, but only the first v2 works with
p54. The second one needs a driver from marvell.
The driver is called mrv8k, but it's not in the Linux tree, not even in
staging. I don't know why. Perhaps it's not functional.
Several pages recommend disabling mrv8k and using ndiswrapper with
Windows drivers. Until ndiswrapper 1.57 is released, you'll need the
current snapshot from subversion, as ndiswrapper 1.56 doesn't compile
for Linux 2.6.35 and newer.
