Hmm...that may be more of an issue than I thought.  The W511v2
apparently uses a Marvell chipset (never heard of them) and there may
not be a native Linux driver.  I know Broadcom and Intel chipsets work
out of the box on Ubuntu (Broadcom's need to connect first to download
drivers, but this is automatic).  You may have to use the Ndiswrapper to
get it right.  You could try connecting to a wired Ethernet network
(temporary, just disconnect your desktop or something) and doing an
update using Update Manager, then trying out Hardware Drivers to see if
it comes up with anything.  If this doesn't work, you may be stuck using
ndiswrapper.  If all else fails, you can get a different PCMCIA WiFi
card (they're cheap these days), preferably something Broadcom based or
even better Intel if they make external ones.
