The ethernet part worked when windows 2000 was installed, but I have no
wired ethernet connection available when using the laptop, only
wireless.

I did an iwconfig, and got:

lo no wireless connections
eth0 no wireless connections
rfd0 no wireless connections

The WG511 is an 801.2b/g wireless PC card made by netgear

I think if I can untangle the tar file ndiswrapper-1.53.tar.gz which I
downloaded to my windows PC, and install ndiswrapper, then I would be
able to install the W511v2.INF file (the driver).  Previous threads have
suggested that the install package used to be on the Ubuntu release CD,
but apparantly it is no longer there.
