I get error messages when I connect this card into the socket. sometimes it work for like 10 seconds and then something like this:
irq11: no body cared try booting with the irqpoll option (check screen)
*can't reset hardware
*failed the reset the mac chip
*loads ath5k,mac80211,ath,cfg80211 modules to make it work (check photo)

I can't understand if is a hardware electrical problem or a driver issue.
I have another laptop that has even more problems as another card a usb 2.0 pcmcia card doesn't work properly there but it works good on this laptop on the photo where I want to try the wag511 and I use the same socket that usb2.0 card uses.

after that error message if I reconnect the card I get
"unknown header type 06 ignoring device."

after rebooting with irqpolll at kernel line I get a new error message still card doesn't work it says:
"unable to init eeprom"

I think my card or its circuitry has gone defective.
is there a way to confirm with you having the same card if it works in any linux with some driver?
