[driverloader] Netgear 511v2 (Marvell chipset)

Hi,

i saw similar stuff  before some years ago on kernel bugs. :) Anyway. I 
use the Windows XP driver bundled with the card. I tried the Windows XP, 
Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000 drivers but i guess they are all 
the same.

I have no packet filtering/modifying in the net. When making those pings 
eth0 (Intel ethernet card) was down and the only route was through the 
AP (192.168.67.2). When i try to connect to the web interface on that 
AP, it is really really slow. Seeing approx 40% package loss i can 
imagine why. :)

Routing is ok, default route is the 192.168.67.2, the AP. When running 
the diag script i needed to have eth0 up to send the email. :)

I tried to use another driver from Netgear. Unfortunally i wasn´t able 
to extract it, cabextract lists INF files with content, but after 
extraction it is 0 byte. :( Will have to try again on windows. Same with 
the install shield files inside the outer cab.

But i guess with another driver i have a good starting point. I will 
post to the list as my trial and error games continue. :)
