Problems with Netgear WG511v1 PCMCIA

[Steven Wheeler <stevenwheel@gmail.com>]

I am attempting to resurrect my old Toshiba Portege 3110CT laptop
Installed Slackware 12.2 on it and all is working well except for my
WG511v1.
Last time I used it several years ago, I remember it working fine.

I believe I have everything configured in the wireless startup scripts, it
all seems to run (as shown below), although I have to manually enter
ifconfig wlan0 up before it shows up
It appears to me that the card is working except for the fact that it shows
no Single Strength (even though it is sitting within 10 ft of my wireless
AP)
Iwlist wlan0 scan returns with
wlan0    no scan results

I have reached my knowledge limit and if anyone has a suggestion to try I
would appreciate it.  I am really hoping I can use this card since money is
tight right now

iwconfig wlan0
