Thanks for suggestion, I bought NETGEAR WG511 and successfully made NDIS
driver with ndisgen and ndiscvt utilities and then recompiled kernel. Card
was recognized and I get rid of the message "driver is not attached" which
scared me at the beginning though.

I have not tested this card with real access point yet, but ifconfig works
fine and the fact that I see "no carrier" is probably because there is no one
in the air to connect to I guess, or?
