I have tried to get this card working, and have googled it with some success in the archives ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=320111, where I downloaded the WG311v3 64 bit AMD driver), read the installation guides and Wikis etc. but to no avail.
The card is showing as present in -> Admin -> Windows Wireless Drivers, however, when I iwconfig in the terminal I get:
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
ifconfig gives the wired connection and:
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0

I have been through the full process of blacklisting the existing wireless drivers, making sure ndiswrapper is installed,identifying my wireless adapter:
01:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88w8335 [Libertas] 802.11b/g Wireless (rev 03)
,getting the pc id:
11ab:ifaa
, so cannot understand why it isn't working.
I am running Lucid Lynx 10.04 64-bit with an Asus P5L-VM1394 motherboard and Dual-Core E2200 processor.
However I do get one strange error message, perhaps someone could enlighten me, when I type ndiswrapper -l in the terminal I get:
WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, it will be ignored in a future release.

Finally when I type
tail /var/log/messages
I get:

I have edited etc/modules to start ndiswrapper on system startup, and loaded the .inf file successfully with the admin tool.
The only thing I can think of is that the 64 bit driver is AMD and I don't have an AMD processor, I have an Intel one, in which case I require the 64 bit Intel driver.
Sorry quick edit here. Does this output from sudo lshw

..mean that it can never work with a 64 bit system? i.e. Width is 32 bits?
