This card does not use the Prism54 chipset. It uses the Marvell chipset and thus the method described here will NOT work with the WG511 v2 (made in China). To use the WG511 v2 you need to use the Windows driver found on the netgear website and ndiswrapper - find more info on installing ndiswrapper for your distro <a href="http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/Distributions" rel="nofollow">here</a>. hope this helps Crimperman Just posting this for the information of anyone who has the WG511 v2.

As i read it i realised something that i already knew. The firmware folder for the isl3890 (remember to rename it isl3890 not isl3890.arm) is different. For your distro it is the mentioned folder for me it is :/lib/firmware/ (i'm using my custom distro ) but it is still a point i would like to raise I was reading this in order to gain a more complete understanding on where to put my file.
