[driverloader] Netgear WG311 not working on Mandrake 9.2 with Linuxant

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

according to the man page of iwlist, the command 'iwlist scanning' also report 
node that are in ad-hoc mode. Since 'iwlist scanning' does not show any 
access points or node in ad-hoc mode, please make sure that other nodes in 
your network are correctly configured for ad-hoc mode.
