WG511 v2 PC Card Mac Drivers
Spoiler
I'm looking for drivers that will allow me to use this PCMCIA card with Mac OS X or OS 9. Any help would be appreciated.

If you look at the system requirements, its only compatible with windows. Not mac.
Hi, I did notice on the website that only Windows drivers are listed.
I just wondered whether the PC card may have originally come with a CD that included Mac drivers.
Interestingly enough, when I put the PC card into my Powerbook, it does detect that it's an 802.11g wireless card, but cannot do anything with it.

Drivers and software for all devices are filed on the support pages for that hardware. If they are not there they do not exist.

Your version of that card dates back to 2007, probably based on the original from 2003. Netgear hasn't made that sort of device for years. Your best bet is to see if anything that comes as a part of Windows works.
It may be a case of tracking down the chipset drivers for whoever made the motherboard.
