Wifi install need help. .. .

| I've had no problems with Suse 9.3, Mepis 3.3.1, Ubuntu & Kubuntu 5.04,
Linspire ... but with Debian I can't get the Wifi card of mine to work or
respond. . . I must admit I don't really know where to start. The other
Linux OS's seem to just pick it up automatically. I'm using a WG311
NetGear Wifi card with an 'Atheros Chipset' . I tried to used Ndiswrapper
with the Windows *.inf file but it didn't want to work at all. So I'm
stuck as to well to begin. I'd like to get this OS up and operational. I
downloaded and burned the 2 DVD install disks (~ 8.2 gigabytes). I had it
all installed but was frustrated with the Wifi card not responding. If I
can get it up and running I'll reinstall the whole shabang once again.
Anybody who can help me and make this a painless experience please
respond. I'd really like to get this going. . .
