Finding drivers for PCI wireless adapters

Submitted by gnocchiverdi on Tue, 2007-10-30 15:20.

 I recently bought a Dell inspiron 530 desktop unit with Ubuntu 7.04 loaded. Through what I charitably will call a misunderstanding, the unit came without a wireless adapter built--in. I asked Dell to recommend an adapter, and they did: buy the Netgear WG311, they said! I did: I got the WG311v3.Guess what? It does not work. However, before I send it back to Dell, it was suggested to me by Netgear that I check the forums.So does anyone out there know how to obtain a driver that will make this adapter work? Failing that, I would like recommendations as to which adapter to get. Preferably a USB...  Last, some advice of my own: stay away from Dell and their Ubuntu division; the folks are very polite and eager to please, but they are poorly informed.
